Planetarium’s May Programs Offer Opportunities for Young Audiences to Learn about Stars, Planets, Solar System

Saturday, October 3, November 7, December 5 at 5:00 pm

This sensory-friendly astronomy and music show, approximately 45 minutes in length, is specially designed for families with children on the Autism spectrum or those with developmental disabilities. Neurotypical children are welcome as well. The program, which is presented on a kindergarten level, is appropriate for audiences of all ages. During the show, the doors will remain open so children may freely leave and return if they choose. Lights will be left dim (instead of dark), and the audio will be lowered and kept at a consistent level. The show will include music, laser lights, stories, and information about the planets, the Moon and constellations. (Recommended for ages 3-adult)
