Public Shows and Events
What's in a planetarium show?
Each show lasts about 1 hour.
Feature Program
Start off with a fun full-dome feature show. We offer a variety of shows that cover all sorts of topics, from black holes to astronaut training. Check our schedule as we rotate the shows often.
Texas Stargazing
Next, our astronomers provide a tour of the Texas nighttime sky without all the distracting city lights. Explore the solar system, other point-of-interest objects, and trending astronomy topics.
Q & A
Do you have any questions about space, astronomy, or anything you just saw in your show? Ask the questions and our astronomers will provide the answers. What's Mars made of? How hot is Venus, really?
Roller Coaster
Finally, as surprise end to your trip in space, you may ride a virtual roller coaster ride! This is often a fun way to end the show.
