There are matinée shows in June and July! Come to the planetarium on Tuesday afternoons and Thursday mornings from June 2 through July 23.
Journey with Little Star, an average yellow star, in search of planets of his own to protect and warm. Along the way, he meets other stars, learns what makes each star special, why they are different colors and how they combine to form star clusters and galaxies. Let’s hope a delightful cast of characters including Pearl and Big Daddy can help “Little Star” find some planets!
Admission is $8 for adults or $7 for Parkland students, seniors 65 and older, or children 12 and under. Passes may be purchased at tickets.parkland.edu or in the lobby beginning a half-hour before the first show. The full show schedule is at planetarium.parkland.edu.
