Museum is open Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 10am – 3pm, closed on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Planetarium shows are at 1pm on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Planetarium show tickets, which includes museum admission, must be purchased online. Children must be age 4 and older to enter the planetarium. To ensure the safety of visitors, staff, volunteers and the collections, we have implemented enhanced protocols and transitioned to an online timed ticketing system for museum and planetarium admission. Please note: Use of strollers are discouraged at this time due to the marked one-way pathways and needing to be carried/lifted to enter and exit the museum.
