Policies and general rules

Accessibility ♿️

Our accessible entrance is located off of the Old Main Building's Hancock Street entrance (closest to the corner of Cass Avenue).

Our main entrance is located at the Old Main Building's Cass Avenue entrance. Once you enter, walk down the stairs and continue straight ahead. You'll see our beautiful murals and the double doors of our planetarium on your right, suite 0209!

Seating

We have 57 seats with armrests and room for three wheelchairs or armless chairs for people who need alternative accommodations.

Admission and show etiquette 🎟️

The show begins promptly at the scheduled start time and the doors close five to ten minutes later. For shows requiring reserved seats, ticket holders must arrive 10 minutes before showtime to ensure seats are reserved.  

Once a show has started, if you must leave, re-admittance will not be allowed.

Be sure all electronic devices are silenced during the show.

Children 🧒🏻👧🏽

If a child can remain reasonably quiet for an hour, they're welcome to attend a Friday night show. We have had very young children enjoy the show before, but remember that the subject matter is at the college level. For younger children, you might want to consider our Saturday morning family shows.

Food and drink 🥤

Food and drink are not permitted in the planetarium.
