2:00-2:30 p.m. Planetarium Show: Mysteries of the Brain     

Jump into an animated adventure following a girl and her crow companion as they explore what makes the human brain so special. Together you’ll zoom along the paths of neurons, find out how human and animal brains differ, and experience illusions on a grand scale!  Along the way, you’ll learn how your brain makes you, well, you, and see that ultimately, we each have the power to change our brains.
