Important Note – In late April 2009, SpaceQuest Planetarium was fitted with new, full-theater equipment upgrades, bringing full-dome video technology to SpaceQuest!! This offers our audiences spectacular new imagery and a new repertoire of shows. Wonders of the Universe and Two Small Pieces of Glass will join Cosmic Canopy in our new show rotation for the 2009 summer months. Stars of the Pharoahs will premier June 27 to celebrate the opening of the Tut exhibit and will be part of the summer rotation. Please join us to witness this amazing transformation and new immersive experiences for you and your family and friends in SpaceQuest Planetarium.

Our 130-seat theater features the DigiStar full-dome projection system, along with a very impressive sound system. When you visit the planetarium, you are treated to an immersive experience that will amaze you.

About Our Programs
We have a variety of presentations for all ages. You can see the stars of the Indiana night sky or learn how a telescope works and about astromers who use/used it. Or fly past our Milky Way galaxy to see beautiful nebluae, stars born from dust and gas and the explosions of some dying stars.
