BOOK SEATS FOR AN UPCOMING SHOW
*WHAT TO EXPECT AT A 360º FULLDOME SHOW:
An advanced cinematic format that envelops viewers in seamless, 360° visuals for a truly immersive “Sphere-like” experience. These shows blend ultra-high-resolution digital projection with spatial sound to create an omnidirectional panoramic storytelling environment that’s both educational and transportive.
◆ All participants age 3+ require a ticketed seat. Toddlers 2 & under may attend free if seated on a lap.
◆ Doors close promptly at showtime and will not be re-opened for latecomers*.
◆ All shows are 45 minutes unless otherwise indicated.
◆ Please note: Planetarium shows may feel overwhelming for some visitors. The immersive dome environment—bright lights, dynamic sound, and large-scale motion—can be intense for sensitive viewers. *You may exit the Planetarium during the show, but will not be permitted re-entry.
◆ ABOUT DAYTIME SHOWS & DAILY ADMISSION TO OUR SITE: While Members always enjoy free daily admission to the SM&NC (and reduced planetarium ticket prices), Non-Members attending a DAYTIME Planetarium Show must also pay daily admission to enter our site, which has been bundled into ticket price based on age.
