Follow us on Facebook to get updates on these events. Please note that this schedule may need to change. If the demand is high, we will work to offer additional shows.
Because the theater is dark and can be scary for young children, we do not recommend bringing children under the age of 4. Some shows have bright lights and moving scenery which could cause motion sickness or seizures. There are routes out of the planetarium if you start to feel any ill effects.
For questions about the planetarium, our shows, or how to make reservations on UAATix.com, please contact the planetarium staff via email at planetarium@alaska.edu or by phone at (907) 786-1838.
