Seating is first come, first served for up to 60 people. Groups of 15 or more may schedule a special showing of any planetarium program by calling 715-346-2208. There is a cost of $15 per group for these special presentations.
On Monday evenings, the “Night Skies of Fall” program is offered in the planetarium at 8 p.m., also free of charge. An optional observatory visit for sky viewing through the telescope may follow if skies are clear.
