Planetarium

The shows were nice, but nothing too spectacular. My expectations were higher, but it may have been a problem with the show that we picked. The seating was quite comfortable and the visuals were very good.

Great movie quality

We just watched one movie due to limited time available, but I can say the quality is amazing both by the fact the content is up to date and also very well constructed. I would definitely visit again and watch all of them.

Very good video and audio

Functions start every 30 minutes. Goods programs, very good video and very good audio. It is right next to the Museum of Natural Science so you can visit both the same day.

Science weekend with my nephew

We are starting at the planetarium since we just flew in today. We caught two shows and it was a great way to kick of the adventure. Stunning visuals for both shows. Highly recommend catching a show if your in the area.
