The planetarium is awe inspiring. From the planet-shaped space theatre within a glass-cube building, to the walkway that reveals the universe from 10^26 down to 10^-26 it is fascinating and highly entertaining. While you are there, I highly recommend extending your visit to the other exhibits: the IMAX show of the Monarch Butterfly migration is a moving mini movie that... More

Great perspective on the vastness of the universe starting from earth & traveling billions of lite years out!

My grandson and I went to the presentation at the Hayden Planetarium in April. He was thrilled with the scene "coming from the roof." Whoopi Goldberg is an engaging narrator and the images were spectacular. The facility is well organized and it was an easy entry. The Rose Science center has exhibits that are interesting for all in the family.... More

Everything, i had a great time i learned alot.i went with a the fifth graders on a school field trip.

The "Journey to the Stars" is a first-rate depiction of our solar system with an easy-to-understand explanation of outer space. Many school groups were there taking it all in. Narrated by Whoopi Goldberg, it is suitable for all ages.

I've been to 3 planetariums in different cities, and the Hayden Planetarium beats them all. It is a remarkable experience, if you have kids take them there to see the wonders of the universe. The narration by Whoopi Goldberg is both remarkable and awe inspiring, and as I wrote in the title, I wish it had lasted longer!

Once again, the planetarium by which all others will be judged. Honestly though, you really do need an interest in the subject matter as some of it will be really boring without the passion. Staff a bit weird - but I figure it's because they're smarter than me.

Paid a visit to the Hayden Planetarium on our recent short break in New York. The Planetarium is in a superb setting and the video show is very good. However this was spoilt by 2 members of staff in the control box who had a personal conversation from as soon as the lights went out until we shouted to them... More
