Nightwatch

Nightwatch is a live planetarium show that takes families on a guided tour of the night sky. During this 35-minute experience, you'll learn how to spot and identify constellations, bright stars, planets, and other celestial objects visible to the naked eye. The show changes seasonally, so what you'll discover depends on when you visit and what's currently visible overhead. This program works wonderfully for elementary-age children and is a great introduction to stargazing. You'll come away with practical skills for identifying what you see on clear nights at home. To attend, you'll need to purchase tickets in advance. The planetarium operates several days a week, so you have flexibility in planning your visit.
