Planetarium

Take A Guided Tour of the Galaxy Without Ever Leaving Earth.

The James E. Bertelsmeyer Planetarium provides an exciting educational experience by pairing stunning high-definition visuals with state of the art technology in a fully-immersive theater atmosphere. In addition to daily screenings of space-based, full-dome videos, we also present interactive programs ranging from basic astronomy, to earth science, to introducing the constellations, and even art history.

TASM’s planetarium serves our community by inspiring curiosity seekers to explore our universe and discover the wonders of Earth.

One planetarium show is included in the price of museum admission; planetarium enthusiasts may view a second show for only $7.

Many shows include a live presentation of tonight’s sky and current astronomical events.

Admission and seating for 110 is on first-come, first-served basis. Seating may not be available for all showings. No entry after doors are closed, late arrivals may attend the next presentation.

NO food, drink, or gum allowed in the Planetarium.
