Reviews
"Presenter was very funny and informative. Presentation had a good flow, kept audience captivated and relatable because it discusses a lot about the Milwaukee sky. For all ages. Definitely planning to see other presentations."
"An understated but stellar (pun intended) educational outreach to the community, including and especially we science geeks. Engaged audience from 6 to senior. Highly interactive. Very affordable. You'll leave a program with your head in the stars."
"Went there for a friend's anniversary. Great idea for when your circle consists of a lot of families with kids of the right age. Our presenter kept the kid's attention while she got the parents engaged as well. Had some classrooms open for some refreshments."
"My wife and I have enjoyed the handful of shows that we've made it to. We only wish they advertised better so that we were more in tune with their semester schedules! The shows are a bit lacking as they are usually just pictures while someone talks, but they work with what resources they have (in what is quite a little planetarium). The stargazing portions are in fact amazing, seeing the stars and finding the constellations is always fun. Definitely worth the few dollars it costs for 30+min show they put on."
"Cozy room with very knowledgeable presenters. The 'show' portion was a slideshow, but once we started looking at actual sky on the dome, it really feels like your stargazing in the country. Friday night shows are $2, but make sure you arrive a little early since seats are first come first serve and they usually sell out of seats. The back row is definitely the best for full view!"
