Kika Silva Pla Planetarium at Santa Fe College

"We attended a matinee show of "Mesmerica". It is a traveling multimedia production with music and mind-bending visuals. It uses a video projector on the domed ceiling. The venue has comfortable seating and a great sound system. There are other shows that utilize the planetarium projector, which is quite impressive. This is a fun, educational place to spend a Sunday afternoon."

"Best seats are definitely center - back.Great production. Very comfortable. The staff are friendly and entertaining. If you need to park in a handicapped spot, park at the police station. The walk to the entrance is quick."

"If you enjoy space in any way shape or form make sure you come here for a show. James is always good for at least two to three dad jokes and so knowledgeable. You can definitely tell that he loves his job and loves sharing his passion for the stars."

"The Planetarium was very hard to find on the Santa Fe campus. It took us about 20 minutes to find it and we were practically on top of it. It was hidden in the middle of other buildings. Even the signs on the campus weren't very good. We were 2 minutes late and after begging and pleading we were finally let in to the scheduled show along with 2 other people who also got lost as we all drove up to Gainesville from Ocala to see this show. The Eclipse show was pretty good and I would have been very disappointed if we missed it. I thank them very much for letting us in as they have rules about late comers. It would have been nice if there were some signs pointing to the Planetarium or at least some signs in the parking lot to let us know it was there. There was no way you could tell from the parking lot that the Planetarium was there."

"Going into the planetarium I was a little bit skeptical because I believed that it would be an old fashioned projector and the shows would be outdated and boring. However I was wrong. The projection system is state of the art and even being upgraded today. The shows are interesting and up to date on all plantary/galaxy knowledge. I personally recommend the one on Black Holes. It is a perfect introduction to the subject."
