Nightwatch

Nightwatch is a live planetarium show that invites families to explore the night sky together. During this 30-minute experience, your kids will learn how to spot and identify constellations, bright stars, planets, and other celestial objects visible to the naked eye. Since the night sky changes throughout the year, each visit to Nightwatch offers something new and seasonal to discover. This show works especially well for elementary-aged children who are curious about space and astronomy. It's a hands-on way to understand what's actually visible overhead on a clear night, giving your family knowledge you can use at home. You'll want to check the planetarium calendar and purchase tickets in advance, and note that the museum offers extended summer hours on Friday evenings if that works better for your schedule.
