Learn about space like never before!

Enter into an immersive, inflatable planetarium where you can kick back and enjoy 360-degree films that explore topics like the stars, galaxies, and solar viewing.

The 11:15 and 2:15 showings will feature “To the Moon and Beyond.” This film takes viewers on an immersive journey through space along with the voice of Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen). Explore the wonders of the universe from the moon to the farthest reaches of the cosmos.

The 1:15 and 3:15 showings will feature “IBEX: Search for the Edge of the Solar System.” This experience follows the creation of NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) to get an in-depth look at the mission and how IBEX is collecting high-speed atoms to create a map of our solar system’s boundary.
