The Wayne State Planetarium presents public planetarium shows on a regular basis. Our public shows are presented on most Friday evenings throughout the year.

Tickets and seating

• Two-thirds of seats are reservable the Sunday before the show.
• One-third of seats are available for walk-ins at the door.
• Ticketed attendees should arrive at least 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the show. After this time, unclaimed seats will be released to walk-in members of the public.

Our planetarium holds 60 people. If you're interested in bringing a large group, please make a reservation for a private show.
