Reviews
"I don't know why the college invested money in the space center as I visited on Monday afternoon at 1:45 and no staff was available to allow access to the planetarium. There's a few other things to see. I'm told the planetarium is the gem of the exhibit but having no staff members to allow access to it I cannot say. Waste of time and gas. I'm sure it's nice but who knows?"
"This place is a hidden gem. I'm not going to say anything about it, except that if you are considering going here, just go. The experience is worth way more than what little it costs."
"Highly recommend going to a space show here! I took my daughter and her friend. They loved it, and I do too. We learned about the planets and how to find some constellations. I also plan on making the music laser show a date night activity. No need to go downtown Chicago to enjoy a planetarium show ."
"Always enjoyed coming here to see a cool Lazer show or other show in the dome. They have a cool gift shop and staff are friendly. Great family fun or fun with peers depending on the program being presented."
"I wish there was more there, but I mean it is what it is. Just be careful if you go during the day. I went to see the laser dark side, and ended up walking out about 10 minutes is because a woman had her two kids there yelling and screaming. She as asked to turn off her phone, was back in it two minutes later. Kids were loud, the man that told her to turn off her phone did not ask her to quiet her kids. It was a waste or time and money for me and my son as we could not enjoy it ourselves. I'm sure it would have been fun had that ignorant person actually patented her children."
