About this place

This dome theater at Union Station hosts rotating space and science shows for families, from live guided star tours of the night sky to animated programs made for young learners. Hazelnuts follows two cartoon squirrels traveling to other planets, introducing kids to basic astronomy concepts like the atmosphere and habitable zones in a story format. Other programming includes laser light shows set to popular music, a documentary-style program on the Apollo 11 moon landing, and films exploring astronomy across world cultures. The venue is accessible with ramps, companion seating, booster seats, and bean bag seating, though doors lock once a show begins so late entry is not allowed.
