Live planetarium shows for all ages
You can have a stellar experience that brings space to life! We combine the best of both planetarium presentations and hands-on activities on a variety of astronomy and science topics. Our Digitarium Delta 4 Digital Planetarium System allows us to fly to all the planets, their moons, and dwarf planets. Our planetarium makes celestial bodies appear and move realistically to simulate the complex motions of the heavens.
Mobile Planetarium
Our planetarium can come to you! If you're hosting an event, we can make it that much more entertaining and interesting with our planetarium. Our dome's capacity is 20 adult, or 25 elementary school kids. If your event has more people, we run shows consecutively on a 30-40 minute schedule.
Our mobile planetarium has inspired students in many local schools in the Buffalo and Niagara Falls area, and we are confident that you will be thrilled by the excitement and enchantment a live planetarium program offers. All presentations are tailored for each age group (K-12) and will provide appropriate academic content.
