SIDE NOTE:
The design of the Shafran Planetarium building allows its exterior to function as an astronomical instrument. Nighttime visitors can use the building’s angled roof to locate Polaris, the North Star, around which all other stars in the sky appear to rotate.
Guests can see astronomical bodies draw trails as they move through the sky, while planets zoom in with full motion and 3D texturing as they move to the foreground. The Museum also employs an LED lighting system, which boasts the lowest power consumption for this type of lighting.
Parking: Guests can park in the Museum’s 300-space parking garage, the garage entrance is located on Wade Oval Drive near the corner of East Boulevard. General parking is $10 for the first two and a half hours, +$1 for each additional half hour, up to the daily maximum of $16.
