Join us for Planetarium Night! Take an adventure and blast off into outer space to explore our Milky Way galaxy. Not only will you get to visit all of our 8 planets, but you'll also learn about their volcanoes, hurricanes, and how some even rain acid and diamonds! You'll also get the chance to visit our sun, planets, moons, and even our dwarf planets. End the night viewing some of our ancient and modern constellations while learning all about the legends and stories behind them.
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.
