We enjoyed the 1 hour film. Wish it was more than an hour. Easy to get tickets upon arrival. The theater was very spaciousand clean. Film is great for children and young students. Greeters were friendly and nice. However, for only an hour film and driving total of 2 hours to watch it, plus car parking fee may not be worth it next time. The signs for parking was confusing "free on the weekends but all permit required at all times". Not sure what "permit" meant so we ended up paying for parking to make sure we do not get a ticket. We didn't know how long the film was as we couldn't find information on the website so we paid for more than 2 hours parking. We will not return.

The event I attended was a very fun way to spend an hour, and the host was a pleasant commentator (:

Bumping this up to five stars because the receptionist was on time, and we weren’t confused by signage, or the lack thereof this time. Bailey is still the heart of the show. She went to great lengths to show us where Proxima Centauri was from the southern hemisphere.

First visit got off to a rocky start: Was hard to find general public parking; The parking lot sign said we could pay at some toll station that we could never find; The receptionist / cashier wasn’t available at 12:30 PM opening time, so maybe we were supposed to go to the main office in Room 364 as the sign said? Nope, we couldn’t even make it to any Room 364. Was about to write a bad review but the young lady named Bailey redeemed the visit because she …
1. told us to come to the later show because we were too old to appreciate Big Bird
2. hosted the presentation with enthusiasm, even showing humor when the projectors glitched and froze a few times
3. helped my son with his homework after the show was over.
Full stars to Bailey. Will bump this review to five stars if they do better for our next visit.

The planetarium is very nice. The seats are very nice and recline back quite a bit and are comfortable. The only complaint I have is that the show we watched (the northern lights) seemed like it was out of focus the whole time. I don't know if it was a resolution issue or not. We watched the dark side of the moon and the visuals were better, but the volume needed to be turned up about 300%. If the visuals are going to surround you then the sound should surround you as well. Overall, worth the price and would be excellent with a couple of adjustments.
