The Pacific Planetarium is born out of the passion of local astronomy educators.
Educators at the Pacific Planetarium work hard to provide engaging topics relating to earth and space sciences with a focus on audience participation and experimentation. Audience members are encouraged to ask questions of our staff members both in and outside of the dome.
The Pacific Planetarium serves as our test-bed. It is where we test new systems, and new software. It is also where we insure the quality of every system we ship.
At this time we are unable to provide in person public programs. We are hosting online only virtual shows. Please check the schedule below for dates and times.

Astronomy Day with the Pacific Planetarium!
Join the Pacific Planetarium as we Celebrate Astronomy Day Saturday September 26, 2020 with two free programs. First we'll take part in the online virtual world premier of the astronomy movie Big Astronomy. Explore the world-class observatories nestled in northern Chile's mountains and learn why Chile, with its beautiful mountain ranges and clear, cloudless skies create an ideal environment for studying the cosmos. Following the movie we'll have a live program about the constellations and stars as seen from the Southern Hemisphere.
This program is FREE but reservations are required. To Reserve your spot please go to https://click4tix.com/AstronomyDay.
The programs will be conducted using the Zoom Meeting Platform. Links will be sent out the morning of the show.
Show Times are 12:00 Noon PDT and 2:00 PM PDT
First Fridays are Back!
While we can't greet you in person, we can take you on a virtual Zoom tour of the Night Sky.
Join the Pacific Planetarium for the online Zoom presentation of the Night Sky. We'll explore the stars and planets visible in the night sky for Spetember and October and have a chance to fly to Jupiter, Saturn, and their moons. And it's interactive, if you have a question just ask and we'll explore the answer together!
