Additional Planetarium Show Admission

Adults: $5.00

Planetarium shows begin promptly on the hour. Be sure to arrive early to purchase your admission ticket in the main museum lobby.

An innovative and immersive experience: as you sit in one of 94 reclined seats, a stunning environment is generated 360 degrees around and above you from our Barco™ F80 projector, capable of displaying 5.7 million pixels in vibrant and colorful Ultra-high-definition across our expansive 40-foot hemispherical dome. Coupled with a powerful audio system, provided by JBL, that immerses the audience in Dolby™ 5.1 Surround sound, the Lohman Planetarium gives you the feeling of traveling aboard a starship across the Universe or trekking through the detailed terrain of an exotic, far-off world. Laser light shows are displayed by using the SkyLase laser projector. 

NOTICE: Planetarium shows, laser shows, and light effects may cause seizures in certain individuals. If you have any concerns or questions about the show’s content or nature, please ask the operator/educator before the program begins. For your safety, and the safety of others, there is no admission or re-admission after a planetarium show has begun.
