There is always something happening at the Delta College Planetarium. Explore the universe with unique events that combine shows, presentations, demonstrations and interactive learning opportunities for all ages.
This July marks the 50th anniversary of Apollo landing on the Moon. To celebrate this achievement, we have a free exhibit in our Space Explorers Hall that features the history of the Apollo program. We also have simulated Moon rocks from NASA on display and a place where you can share your Apollo memories.
We will have hands-on activities, dome demos, a telescope workshop and, weather permitting, observing on our rooftop observation deck.
Are you going camping this summer? If you are, make sure you take binoculars with you! On June 7, come to Gateway to the Stars where we will show you spectacular sights you can experience in the night sky using only binoculars. Special pricing of $3, cash only.
Watch the beautiful fireworks display from our observation deck and help support the Delta College Planetarium. You will also be treated to a Dome360 show and will be able to park in our parking lot. Tickets are $60 a person. Reserve your seat before it's too late!
Delta’s planetarium contains one of the world’s most advanced digital theater systems.
In 1993, Delta College secured a grant from NASA totaling $8.75 million to fund the design and construction of the Planetarium.
The exterior “cone” shape of the Planetarium theater represents a rocket exhaust nozzle.
"A great venue in the middle of the city. The 360 screen puts you right in the show!"
