Summer 2024 Shows

Get your tickets here!

 Follow us on Facebook to get updates on these events. Please note that this schedule may need to change.  If the demand is high, we will work to offer additional shows.  

We have shows every week, except the first Friday. Our schedule continues into the summer with at least 2 show nights a month. Our 60 minute shows usually highlights one of our immersive, fulldome films followed by a presentation from one of our community's expert scientists, plus time for questions from the audience at the end of every show. We also have our all-live planetarium shows which feature the immense Planetarium database where one of our Astronomers will fly you through the Scales of the Universe, Stars of the Alaskan Sky, or show you our Tilted Solstice.

Seats can be purchased until the show begins and doors open 15 minutes before the show. Because the theater is dark and can be scary for young children, we do not recommend bringing children under the age of 4. Some shows have bright lights and moving scenery which could cause motion sickness or seizures. There are routes out of the planetarium if you start to feel any ill effects.

Seats may typically be reserved online until 15 minutes before the start of the show, being purchased online with a credit card. All remaining tickets will be sold at the door on a first-come, first-served basis on the night of the show. Even if a show is sold out, we typically have a few seats available on the night of the show.  The planetarium will open for seating 15 minutes before each show.  You must be in the theater 10 minutes before the show starts.  Unclaimed reserve seats will be released after this time to stand-by customers.  There is no entry after the show begins.
