Planning an educational outing for your class?

Why not visit the Planetarium for an unforgettable experience!

School shows are presented weekday mornings upon reservation. Showings are scheduled at 10 and 11:15 a.m., Tuesday to Friday, starting September 7, 2010, unless indicated otherwise. (Please note that the Planetarium will be closed to the public from January 10 to 26, 2011.) Allow a maximum of two hours for your visit, including a tour of our permanent and temporary exhibits. You're welcome to download a series of activity sheets, specific to the show you'll be attending, that will help your class prepare for its visit. Please refer to the Groups section of this website for important information concerning the terms and conditions for group visits.

We offer different shows to match the grade level of your students. These multimedia productions are specifically geared toward school children. Also suitable for school visits are some of our family-oriented programs and other productions aimed at the general public: these may only be available at specific periods of the year.
