This is an aging facility. It has some nice programs, but it really doesn't match up with premier sites like Hayden in New York. Nice for an afternoon or evening, especially with kids. Small gift shop attached has a surprisingly nice selection of space related gifts and gadgets. more

“Awesome!”

Great shows! Very cool planetarium with huge star projector in the middle of the domed theater. Not too expensive, either. Building is a little run down. Maybe others would call it rustic or historic. more
