Fascinating Concept

Lauren_L, Nov 2025

This planetarium is only 4 months old so still a work in progress. The presentation was a bit disjointed but I did learn a lot. Unfortunately the sky was cloudy so we firm get to see the sky. They provided blankets and transport and her enthusiasm was contagious. I would love to come back again when it has been a bit more developed.

Time well spent

The staff are knowledgable, serious astronommers who also share their cultural heritage. This is an intimate planetarium experience. The telescope viewing is limited by proximity to city lights and of course weather.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the intimate and educational experience at our planetarium. Our team of knowledgeable astronomers takes pride in sharing not only the wonders of the cosmos but also the rich cultural heritage tied to the stars. While telescope viewing can sometimes be influenced by proximity to city lights or weather conditions, we strive to make every visit a memorable and enriching experience. We hope to welcome you back for another stellar evening under the stars! 🌌✨
