About Adler Planetarium

The Adler Planetarium offers a unique experience connecting people to the universe through engaging exhibits and programs. With over half a million visitors each year, it provides a platform for learning and exploration for individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Guests can expect to spend about two hours exploring the museum, which features kid-friendly areas and must-see exhibits like the moon landing display. The planetarium also features star shows, which are highly recommended, although they come with an additional charge. Visitors have shared mixed feelings about their experiences. Some found the exhibits interesting and enjoyed short shows like “Destination Solar System” and “Sky Watch Live.” However, others felt the museum was smaller than expected and lacked sufficient interactive displays. There were suggestions for improved communication regarding show timings, and some guests noted the need for ear protection due to loud audio in the dome screens. Overall, while many appreciated the opportunities for discovery and the stunning views of the city, a few found the experience underwhelming, particularly if they were not deeply interested in astronomy.
