SIDE NOTE:
Show schedules shown above are for the Planetarium shows. Telescope viewing opportunities typically follow the Planetarium show and may be restricted to show times and weather conditions. Contact the Center for details.
Construction of the UNA Planetarium and Observatory was done in two stages, with the observatory being constructed first. The planetarium building was constructed alongside the telescope dome, providing access to both facilities.
No reservations are required (at this time). Because the shows require it to be dark in the planetarium, cellphones and other electronic devices should not be used during the shows. Guests who refuse to comply with this request may be asked to leave.
Guests with special needs are asked to notify the planetarium staff so we can help accommodate your requirements. Unfortunately there is no ramp to the observatory, but the planetarium is accessible.
