Reservations/Cancellations

CALL 989-667-2260 to make group reservations.Once you have made your reservations, you will receive a confirmation via e-mail. (Please be sure to give your e-mail address to the person taking your reservation). See our Planetarium map for directions. Shows begin on time. We ask that you arrive 15 minutes prior to show time. This will allow time for your students to use the restrooms prior to entering the theater, and also time for someone to check-in, verify numbers and make payment. Due to darkness and special lighting in the theater, late groups will not be seated.

Please note: A minimum of one week notice is required for any cancellations. Failure to cancel in advance will result in being charged a $75 fee. Schools closed due to weather issues or other verifiable reasons acceptable to Delta College will be allowed to reschedule without penalty.
