Evening On-Site Programming (November 30)

During your visit you’ll watch a Planetarium Star Theatre show, experience a science demonstration in our GroundStation Canada theatre and visit our Observatory, with a tour of our ½ metre Cassegrain telescope. Then join us outside to view the night skies through our portable telescopes. These telescopes give us the freedom to move around and find the best position for viewing.

Our programming is recommended for attendees ages 8+. Children must be accompanied by adults.

One ticket must be purchased for each member of your group. Tickets for children ages 3 and under, who do not need their own seat in our theatres, are available at no cost.

Please arrive early to allow time for check-in.
