More than a field trip, students observe a realistic night sky, investigate scientific patterns, ask questions of an astronomy educator and experience astronomical scale and motion in ways that cannot be reproduced on a classroom screen.
Unique to the Reichert Planetarium, all live lecture programs are presented by an astronomy educator.
A “fulldome” film is a pre-recorded planetarium program with stunning, immersive visuals projected overhead on our 60-foot dome. Each show is 30 minutes long and, with the addition of a 30-minute live star talk provided by an astronomy educator, becomes a one-hour program.
Extend your planetarium visit with a walk along our one-mile woodland trail, featuring a scale model of the Solar System from the Sun to Neptune. The trail is available to school groups at no additional cost during September–November and April–June.
Please let the reservationist know when booking if your class would like to participate.
