Interested in learning how technological advancements have impacted space exploration? Join us as we venture out to Earth's orbit to discuss some of the major innovations that have affected our planet. We'll also explore Mars and learn all about its rovers. From here, we'll travel across the asteroid belt to visit one of Saturn's moons that could foster potential life, and we'll even view some of our constellations that are based off of modern inventions.
Our Planetarium is an inflatable dome. Guests sit on cushions on the floor of the planetarium to view the show. Space is limited; purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended for this reason. On Planetarium Night, please arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled showing. In case of no-shows/late shows: reserved spots will be released at show time to make space for the next party.
Shows begin at 6 and 7 pm and last approximately 45 minutes.
Don't miss the preshow, included with your reservation! Our planetarium preshow begins at 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. During this, your family can discover and learn about various space explorations, space facts, and more from our local experts at the Northwest Florida Astronomy Association.
Seating is limited and very popular. We encourage purchasing your tickets in advance, as this is a first come, first served event. Please call 850-664-1261, stop by the Science Center, or use our online ticketing option to purchase your tickets.
Our planetarium is sponsored by FPL
