Just loved this place. I’m hoping that now things are coming back to normal, after the pandemic, they will once again begin their shows. All is done by students but done very well. They also have a question and answer session along with what our sky will look like that evening. Great prices with Adults at $6 seniors are $5 I believe. So very worth it. It’s also a great place to take kids.

As an OCC student myself. I got to watch this amazing building be brought to life. And I gotta say that the wait was totally worth it. I’ve been to this place numerous times and I love it so much. And the shows there are absolutely amazing. I’m so glad the Planetarium is finally open, it’s an amazing experience for the entire family.

It is now open to the public. This is a wonderful experience. So interesting, so informative and better than IMAX.

Unfortunately we would only be able to catch the tail end of the transit right after sunrise and the whole thing will be over by 9:00, so we aren't planning a viewing event
