Stargazer’s Planetarium

Come experience the cutting-edge, high-definition digital technology of the Stargazer’s Planetarium. Recline under the dome and let the show take you soaring through our solar system and far beyond the Milky Way.

Every day we offer our main show, the amazing Created Cosmos, that takes you on a tour across the breadth of the universe. On some days we also offer a second show, such as the Worlds of Creation—a tour through our solar system. (On these days, you get a discount when purchasing both presentations.)

Separate timed ticket is required. Please consult a Guest Services Representative or a Daily Schedule when you arrive for theater show times.

Tour the Universe—Now in HD!

The Planetarium at the Creation Museum has been upgraded! It now features two bright, high-resolution HD projectors that produce an absolutely breathtaking view of the universe. The planetarium shows look absolutely stunning on the new system; it’s like seeing them for the first time.

Watching the Created Cosmos or the Worlds of Creation is like seeing a brand-new planetarium show. All sorts of things pop out that were not so easy to see before. For example, the fainter red stars in the M4 globular star cluster are now easily seen, as well as the distant luminous blue supergiant stars in the Milky Way. Colors also look much more intense.

Did you know that the “jacks” indicating the positions of the extra-solar planets are color-coded according to the number of planets? (Green means one known planet, yellow means two, etc.) This is easy to see now. Did you know that the galaxies of the universe are also color-coded according to type? (For example, spiral galaxies are blue, elliptical galaxies are red, irregulars are purple.) This was difficult to see before, but not now.

If you have seen the Planetarium before, prepare to be astonished all over again. If you’ve never seen it, now is the time!
