Inside the computerized planetarium, you will be immersed in a 360-degree view of the sky while learning about different cultures’ interpretations of the stars, exploring the moon’s phases, zooming in on the planets and venturing into deep space before returning to Earth. Includes a hands-on activity. For children ages 4-10 accompanied by their families. Free tickets available in-person 30 minutes before the event, while supplies last. No late admissions or early departures; once the program begins, the inflatable traveling planetarium dome may not be opened until the show is finished.

This hands-on program will provide children with the opportunity to use their critical thinking and problem-solving skills to achieve a result. We will provide all the experiment materials for this program. Questions about this program? Contact the branch at 240-773-9444.
