StarLab Viewing Experience for Ages 0-2

15-Minute Sessions

For children ages 0-2, only 15-minute viewing experiences are available within the 2-hours of programming. However, the planetarium is dimly lit and may be an intimidating experience for children ages 0-2, so the viewing experience may be less than 15-minutes. The viewing experiences do not include educational material; they are strictly viewing experiences.

StarLab Program for Ages 3+

30-Minute Sessions

For participants age 3+, the 2-hours of programming will be divided into four 30-minute sessions. Additional hours can be purchased. Each 30-minute session includes an orientation outside of the planetarium and a visual tour of the night sky in the planetarium filled with stories combining science and myth.

StarLab PLUS Program for Ages 3+

30-Minute Sessions

For participants age 3+, the 2-hours of programming will be divided into four 30-minute sessions. Additional hours can be purchased. StarLab PLUS will engage two groups at one time. The first group will participate in a 30-minute StarLab session which includes an orientation outside of the planetarium and a visual tour of the night sky in the planetarium filled with stories combining science and myth. The second group will participate in astronomy-related games and activities at the same time until it’s time to enter the StarLab. Then, the groups will switch.
