Sudekum Planetarium

Yes! Sit back, relax, and watch the stars come out during Nightwatch, a live program that highlights the stars, constellations, and planets visible in the evening at this time of year. Come chat with us after the show - it's a great opportunity to ask questions or even try to stump the presenter. Check our schedule for showtimes.

Yes - the Sudekum Planetarium is located inside Adventure Science Center. In conjunction with show tickets, either an active membership or paid general admission to the science center is required.

Non-members can save money by purchasing an admission/planetarium combo ticket! Combo tickets are available from any show's description page or at the box office.

As long as they're seated in an adult's lap, children under the age of 2 may only be admitted to a planetarium show for free. If you wish your child to be seated separately (e.g., in a carrier), a separate ticket is required.

At the center of the Turner Theatre is the GOTO Chiron optical star projector that fills the dome with more than 6.5 million stars (a stunning improvement from the 2,400 projected by its predecessor). This breathtakingly realistic night sky is combined with a 4K Digistar 5 fulldome system that projects images and animations of the wonders of the universe from horizon to horizon. No other planetarium in the country offers the seamless integration of these two technologies. The gently sloping seating and powerful 13,000-watt, 5.1 surround sound system give Sudekum guests a unique, immersive, and exhilarating experience.

Yes! Sudekum Planetarium has created original productions for planetariums since 1987. If you're interested in bringing our shows to your planetarium, please get in touch for more information!
