Worth the visit more when combined with museum entry. The only disappointment was that the machine in planetarium blocks part of the view, too bad it can't sit lower

The science Gallery is really fun for kids and the planetarium shows can be good. Saw a Daft Punk laser show here, it was excellent. Watch for special events.

Over the years we made many long drives just to expose our children to these cultural venues. They are still topics of conversation when we are together. My wife and I stopped here on a Sunday afternoon - Planetarium first, and then the Museum of Man & Nature. Still fabulous!

We visited with our 13 yr granddaugher and 9 yr old grandson. We all totally enjoyed it. The interactive Childrens Museum was a huge hit. We were not sure if both kids would be equally impressed, but they were! It was pricey (over $70 for 3 adults and 2 kids), however, it provided three hours of enjoyment for all.

Sometimes the shows are a little outdated, but the experience is always an experience. The presenters keep it interesting and the pay off is always the view of the night skies. A great place for a different experience and a little learning.

Just added modern new Digital equipment and is now as good as any planetarium presentation. Reasonably priced, comfortable seating and modern surroundings.Adjacent to Concert Hall and Museum of Man and Nature also worth seeing.

The planetarium now boasts the Digistar 5 starfield. Other upgrades to the science gallery adds new life to the exhibit.

The venerable planetarium is getting some modern upgrades. The Science center continues to evolve. Prices are reasonable and it's a great place to let the kids explore. Get the combo ticket with the Museum upstairs and make it a day. The only thing missing is a decent place to eat onsite.

I used to love going to the planetarium and science gallery when I was younger. The glass room is really cool and there were lots of things to look at and play with. I guess it's not really for adults (21) but I went on a boring, chilly day for something to do and found every station at the gallery... More
