The Alice and Leonard Dreyfuss Planetarium is a spectacular interactive theater for learning about astronomy, space and planetary science. Audiences can explore the constellations, travel through the Solar System, visit distant galaxies and soar to the edge of the Universe.
The centerpiece of this 50-seat theater is a state of the art Zeiss ZKP3B projector which can project up to 7,000 stars and display the correct positions of the Sun, Moon and planets.
