About a half hour. We, including the kids, really enjoyed it. Great presenter.

The observatory is open on Thursday & Friday nights until about 10-10:30.

I'm not sure what that is.

Yes, check out groupon for the best offer.

I went on Groupon and got two tickets for $14. The museum is free.

Dogs are not allowed

About 45 min to an hour

Yes...you can take a three year old. Normally whe. I visit there are young children around that age you can also check their website to see what type of planetarium show that they're going to have the last time when they talked about the planet they had Sesame Street as part of the presentation

The observatory is also free.

It's about a mile away, so a 5 minute drive

You can do either or. Most people just walk in and let the front desk you they want to attend the shows. If I remember correctly, they do reserve you so there isnt any overfilling and such.

Planetarium programs are $5 for students and seniors and $7 for adults.

When I went it was 6p and 6:30p.

I have no idea about that one

Free to get in. They have a donation box in front of the door. The shows cost, I'm not sure how much though cause I had a Groupon.

The museum is free, the shows cost. I'm not sure how much though cause we had a Groupon.

No, and to be honest nobody can. The places that advertise that service are creating their own star catalog. No professional astronomer will recognize it, let alone know about it.

The museum part is free. I'm not sure about the planetarium.

I do not think it is needed. It was free for us to visit, but the planetarium is a separate charge
