"Fun place to see and learn new things. Watched the blue whales and the Navajo show and was so much fun. A little confusing coming here for the fist time I didn’t know where to go or look, was not told to keep receipt for show entrance but other than that it was 5stars great place for families"
"Went to Beautifica 360 art itself is amazing. But Omsi projectors are extremely outdated!!! Please upgrade projectors!!!"
"My husband, 13 year old son and I went to see Beautifica tonight. Those tickets were a huge luxury for us and we were really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the immersive experience was completely ruined by someone bringing their 1 year old who didn't stop babbling, fussing, crying, squeaking and grunting the ENTIRE show. On top of that, the grandmother was next to my husband, snoring for most of it! I'm so incredibly disappointed because from the bits that I actually caught, it was a stunning show. There should be showtimes available for people with small children because they should be able to enjoy it as well, but it's not fair to ruin it for everyone else! Or provide headphones or allow us to connect our own Bluetooth headphones so we can enjoy the movie undisturbed. We won't be attending again because this was so far out of our budget but would have been worth it had we been able to hear it without constant interruptions."
"Came for the Bruno Mars laser show and you know what: it was great. People were literally getting and up and dancing throughout- I don’t think you get that with the more classic laser Floyd shows. But in general, this is a classic planetarium- educational star programs most of the time, but with a solid dose of lasers on the side. I hope it never changes!"
