The Morrison Planetarium is a 75‑foot dome theater that wraps you in data‑driven astronomy.
Shows & Schedules
- Rotating programs with narration and real‑time datasets.
- Family shows earlier; deeper science later in the day.
| Slot | Good For |
|---|---|
| Morning | Families & first‑timers |
| Afternoon | Enthusiasts & longer stays |
Seating Strategy
- Arrive 10–15 minutes early; seats fill quickly.
- Middle rows balance perspective; avoid very front rows.
Tip: Reserve your slot at entry — show boards list availability.
Accessibility
- Elevator access; ask about seating accommodations.
- Staff can help with calm entry options.
Bottom Line
Book early, sit center, and let the dome do the rest.
