Anything you would like us to know about your inquiry:

We will bring our telescopes to your event during the day for solar viewing or at night for viewing stars, planets and other objects in the night sky. If requested, this program can also include presentations about how telescopes work, why dark skies are important and what the beginner should look for in purchasing a telescope. Can be set up outside or inside.
- Capacity is dependent on the time frame of your event and how many people are in attendance.
- Recommended for ages 5+.
Cost: $200 plus round-trip mileage from the Discovery Center for the first hour, $150 for each additional hour

In this workshop, participants will be guided through the engineering challenge of designing a paper rocket. We will explore common aeronautical questions like: how do planes fly and how can rockets fly so high? Then participants put their new knowledge to the test as they construct a paper rocket and use our air powered launcher to send their rocket into the air— a well made rocket can go 200 feet or more!
- Can be run with up to 25 participants in each session.
- Suitable for ages 5+.
$300 plus round-trip mileage from the Discovery Center for the first session, $125 for each additional session.

In this workshop, participants will learn about comets through creating one themselves. They will explore questions like where do comets come from, what are they made of and how many types of comets are there? Then they will take this knowledge and through the help of an educator create a comet look like with dry ice and other materials.
- Capacity is 40 participants per session
- Suitable for ages 8+.
Cost: $200 plus round-trip mileage from the Discovery Center for the first session, $150 for each additional session

To set up the planetarium, we require a room with 16-foot ceiling clearance with no obstructions (i.e., the lowest hanging item, like a ceiling beam or light fixture, must be at least 16’ high) and a minimum of a 900 sq. ft. (30 feet by 30 feet) floor space.
Gyms and cafeterias are often the ideal locations for our Traveling Planetarium. Ground floor set up is preferred but elevator/escalator access is mandatory otherwise.
- The traveling theater can accommodate 25-30 people at a time depending on age.
- This program is recommended for ages 3+.
