Planetarium Shows

Planetarium shows use immersive projection technology to take audiences on visual journeys through space, stars, and astronomical phenomena. At the Roger B. Chaffee Planetarium in Grand Rapids, families can expect to recline in a dome theater while expert narration and stunning imagery explore topics like constellations, planets, the solar system, and beyond. It's a engaging, accessible way to spark curiosity about science and the cosmos—perfect for both young children experiencing their first planetarium show and older kids diving deeper into astronomy.
