I really enjoyed the full dome presentation, such a cool and unique experience! The space is small and cozy, which makes it feel really personal. The guide was super knowledgeable and shared so much great info. I also loved checking out the displays and exhibits. Overall, it made for a really fun and relaxing evening!

I’ve loved the Planetarium since I was a kid! It’s such a fun and unique experience, perfect for kids to learn a little science while having a great time. The shows are always fascinating and really affordable too. The kids have a blast with the exhibits and the gift shop every time we go. Such a great place!

Small but excellent educational activity. Admission is only a few dollars and parking is free on weekends. I have elementary aged kids and this place is perfect. We can stop in, watch a dome show, and spend 15 minutes learning something new. It is easy to access, so we come more often and enjoy it more. I used to visit a large planetarium in Chicago that was impressive but expensive and an all day commitment with challenging parking. This community planetarium is simple, affordable, and welcoming. The front desk staff were very kind and helpful.

I visited on Friday 20, 2024 in December. Small but out of this world. Bring the kids in your life and your inner child too. There’s (very limited and free) reserved parking across the foot bridge on the third floor of the parking structure. Snag a permit from the staff and be sure to read the signs to prevent a parking ticket. Apply those savings in the little gift shop to support the museum.

The Star Wars precursor to the Roddenberry awards for the best short science sci-fi film festival. This year was absolutely amazing. We had a fantastic time. The winner was MT Nestor !! the Star Wars effects were great the Director and host was fantastic. Everyone was very nice and costumes were had.!! The super tall guy in black, Lord Vader, was intimidating as usual ! All the films we got to watch were wonderful really all-around an amazing night!!! thank you to the Fleishman Planetarium at UNR!!
