Homeschool Groups

Homeschool Shows

Homeschool groups are welcome to schedule a planetarium show using the same procedures as private groups or school groups.

Scheduling Your Visit

School, private and homeschool group reservations require a minimum of two weeks' advance notice. This advance notice is necessary to ensure that appropriate staffing is available for your requested date and time.

Please note: A reservation is not complete or confirmed until all required information has been received and a confirmation letter has been issued by the Planetarium. Dates and times may remain available to other groups until the reservation process is complete.

To schedule a visit, please provide the following information:

• Total number of guests, including students and adults (maximum capacity is 81)
• Grade level(s) of the students
• Show preference
• School or organization name, phone number and mailing address (if applicable)
• Primary contact name, phone number and email address

Once all required information has been received and the reservation is confirmed, the Planetarium will send a confirmation letter by email containing the information needed to plan your visit, including payment, arrival and parking information.

The Planetarium does not issue invoices in advance. Payment is due on the day of the scheduled visit, and all necessary payment information will be included in the confirmation letter.

Parking

Parking for the planetarium is in lot 19 only for all visits other than Friday night public shows. Parking outside of lot 19 can result in vehicles receiving a parking ticket. This includes buses, and we request that buses pull through the bus drop-off zone to offload passengers, then relocate to Lot 19. Please find Planetarium parking on the campus map. Parking in Lot 35 is still allowed for Friday night shows only.

Please allow extra time for parking and to purchase tickets. For the comfort and safety of all our visitors, once the planetarium doors are closed, late admission is not permitted.
