Reviews
"Recomend sitting towards the back. Disappointed the seats didn't recline, we sat towards the front center and really couldn't see above or behind us. Otherwise it was okay..very educational!"
"Buy your tickets at the museum. We made the mistake of going to the planetarium first. My family saw the Big Bird’s Adventure children’s show. It was cute. This was my 5 and 8 year olds first time to the planetarium and they were nervous. So we chose the show that appealed to the youngest kids, but I think they were a little bored by the end. The show was the right length of time for that age group though, 30 minutes. The seats were comfortable, the best place to sit is towards the middle back. There was a set up for a wedding when we came in, but we just had to walk past a few tables to get into the showing room. When we were finished, there was a few interactive displays that the kids could play with and learn about the world. We will be back another Sunday to try a different show!"
"Since i was a child i loved the planetarium. I am now able to take my son . he still young. And his attention is right for a 5 year old.lol which means 30 mins is like 2 hours for an adult..lmao. But he loved it. Great place clean"
"When my husband and I started our wedding planning process we knew we wanted to go a more nontraditional route with our venue. We wanted a place that felt like “us”. Planetariums are a part of our early relationship so when we stumbled upon the museum it was PERFECT for us. It is a smaller and much more cost effective venue compared to the other larger museums in NJ/PA. It has such a charming hometown feel. Our wedding had just under 120 guests. One thing that really sold us is that you can DANCE UNDER THE DOME. Our food was served in the lobby of the museum but the dance floor was under the dome so we had amazing lighting and projection all night. That staff was amazing and so helpful. Stephanie was our point of contact through the planning process and was so helpful and dedicated. The other ladies who helped day of were fantastic. The venue and staff was everything we could have asked for and more. We can’t wait to come back for our next celebration."
"Saw One World, One Sky: Big Bird's Adventure. It was a nice theatrical experience and interactive for children. The resolution on the one camera (section of the dome) was a little out of focus but otherwise sharp images. In the lobby there were great interactive learning objects about Earth and space. Great place for a family to go. You have to buy your tickets in the museum! Also, if you get a museum pass from our local libraries, there is a $1/person discount for the planetarium."
