Planetarium Presentations

Our Place in Space - Saturdays @ 11:00 am

Join Scarlet Macaw, Indy Elephant, and Paula Polar Bear as they solve a crossword puzzle. Along the way they will learn why we have night and day, explore the Sun and planets, and things astronomical. This program is suitable for children ages 5 to 8.

The Planets - Friday @ 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., and Saturday @ 1:00 pm

The Planets, produced by the Southeast Planetarium Association, provides an in-depth look of each planet. The 37-minute show is narrated by actress Kate Mulgrew, best known for her role in Star Trek: Voyager, and is geared for middle to high-school students. The show is enhanced, updated and specifically designed to immerse the audience in current images from NASA missions, including the Hubble Telescope, and bring them along for the exploration as though they are traveling through space.

Skies Over Louisville - 1st Saturday of each month. July 5 @ 9:00 p.m.

Join us for an in-depth tour of the stars, constellations, and planets visible from your own backyard. Following the program explore the skies with telescopes - weather permitting.

Laser Spirit

A mix of pop tunes and patriotic songs, with laser imagery to enhance your enjoyment of both.

Laser Radiohead

Rock to Airbag, The Bends, You-DG, High and Dry and more while your eyes take in the dancing laser imagery covering our dome.
