More About the Planetarium
Girl Scouts learn all about the Solar System and our place in it in the planetarium workshops for Daisies, Brownies and Juniors. Just like real space scientists, girls explore, observe, and investigate the Sun, Moon, and stars.
Boy Scouts can learn about constellations, stars, and the planets as well as light pollution at our planetarium shows...or they can schedule a workshop offered in conjunction with the Louisville Astronomical Society to delve more deeply into the requirements of their astronomy badge.
The planetarium is an out-of-this-world venue for a special group outing or a special event! From weddings and family reunions to corporate events and business meetings, we offer a unique facility for a memorable occasion.
