The program is designed for all ages. Our kids loved the storytelling, which made education seem exciting and enjoyable.

They offer both day and night viewing, show planetarium films, and use the most advanced telescopes to view celestial objects, star clusters, binary stars, thousands of light years away!

Through the combination of education and passion for discoveries, this is the best place to get an understanding of the universe and our place in the solar system.
