Reviews
"Visited there in mid September 2023. Some people paid in advance and did not show up therefore others could get in free once it was determined that there were no shows. I had came earlier that day and had left a monetary donation. I returned later at night to watch the a movie on a IMAX like dome. Saw a video mainly about ancient Egyptians and cosmos. I expected to do that and use or view cosmos from actual telescopes. Was told too much Detroit city light pollution. And that they do views via telescopes elsewhere. The theater director/mc asked and answered several questions. Kind of gave us a cosmos quiz. Was worth it. My kind of fun! Yes families and children and other adults were there. Interesting entertainment!"
"Really miss this place. Someday soon."
"I miss going there I went their a long time ago"
"The show director was excellent! Seats were comfortable and both the locale and venue were great. Unfortunately the planetarium projector itself is very old and it can produce only blurry images inside the dome. Also, one of the two projectors was very dim so only half the sky is projected."
"I've brought Girl Scout troops to the planetarium for shows twice, and we had a great time with the shows and physics demos! Also a great place to hear public lectures and a fun stop on Noel Night."
