Please note that the Planetarium is currently closed for renovations and will remain closed throughout 2008. Please check back frequently for further information as the project progesses. Meanwhile, we will be offering a variety of events outside of the planetarium theater.

 

Astronomy Day

Join us for a fun-filled day of space education and activities, as well as an awesome night of observing the stars and planets. The day begins at 10 AM with exhibits, activities and demonstrations. Learn how to make a comet, or try your hand at making "craters on the Moon." Need help figuring out your telescope? Bring it along and attend the Telescope Workshop. During the daytime program, special telescopes will be set up for some amazing views of the Sun, and StarLab Portable Planetarium shows will be presented at 10:30 AM, 11:30 AM, 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM. Beginning at 8 PM (weather permitting), members of the Astronomical Society of the Toms River Area will have a variety of telescopes set up for a spectacular evening of star and planet observing. Good views of Saturn, Mars and the 1st quarter moon are anticipated. Items from the planetarium gift shop will be available for sale, and donations to help support the planetarium renovation are always welcome.

Daytime Activities: 10 AM - 2 PM
Evening Observing: 8 PM - 10 PM (weather permitting)
