Planetarium Nights: 6 p.m. Show *Spaces limited, call 850-664-1261 for availability*

Do you know how the planets were first discovered? Or when we discovered the Milky Way? Join us for our historical planetarium show as we travel back in time to look at the discoveries that shaped our understanding of our universe today! We’ll venture deep into space and time to discuss how the planets have moved, new celestial bodies that we’ve discovered, and the astronomers behind these discoveries.

Our Planetarium is an inflatable dome. Guests sit on cushions on the floor of the planetarium to view the show. Space is limited; purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended for this reason. On Planetarium Night, please arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled showing. In case of no-shows/late shows: reserved spots will be released at show time to make space for the next party.

Shows begin at 6 and 7 pm and last approximately 45 minutes.

Don't miss the preshow, included with your reservation! Our planetarium preshow begins at 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. During, your family can discover and learn about various space explorations, space facts, and more from our local experts at the Northwest Florida Astronomy Association. 

Seating is limited and very popular. We encourage purchasing your tickets in advance, as this is a first come, first served event. Please call 850-664-1261, stop by the Science Center, or use our online ticketing option to purchase your tickets.

Our planetarium is sponsored by FPL
