Your Own Personal Tour of the Galaxy

Wouldn't you like your own personal tour of the galaxy? From our own solar system to the farthest reaches of the universe, visitors to the Kirkpatrick Planetarium can create their own adventure alongside our astronomy experts — no two live shows are exactly alike.

 

Utilizing the latest digital technology paired with direct links to NASA, we can take you where no one else can...

And bring this morning's scientific discoveries to you by lunchtime.

 

We're taking One Giant Leap toward a new planetarium.

Find out how you can be part of this exciting project!
