For one night only, our original, legendary storyteller returns, spinning cosmic yarns you can't afford to miss!
Egyptian Myths & Legends: Come discover what the stars looked like thousands of years ago to the astronomers of Ancient Egypt. This family-friendly show will dive deep into the timeless stories of the Egyptian gods Ra, Osiris, Isis, and Horus, and some lesser-known tales about the lion goddess, Sekhmet, and the crocodile god, Sobek. We'll also learn fun facts about life in Ancient Egypt (such as what the first toothpaste was made of) and tour around the solar system with stops at Earth, Venus, the Sun, and the Moon. This show will end with a magnificent and magical display of Egyptian constellations. Recommended for ages 5+. All shows last approximately 45 minutes.
Our Planetarium is an inflatable dome. Guests sit on cushions on the floor of the planetarium to view the show. Space is limited. Purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended for this reason. Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled showing. In case of no-shows/late shows: reserved spots will be released at show time to make space for the next party.
Our planetarium is sponsored by FPL

6 P.M. True Crime Special Feature (Ages 21 and up)Our galaxy can be very dark, but have you ever wondered how dark? The True Crime planetarium will answer that question, and many more. While touring through the solar system, we'll discuss some of the most infamous crimes associated with outer space. Learn about the curious deaths of ancient astronomers such as Socrates and Hypatia of Alexandria, the cult that worshipped the 1997 Hale-Bopp comet, and numerous stories of astronauts behaving badly. Adultery, witchcraft, and moon rock robbery are only the beginning when you join us for a mysterious and murderous night under the stars.
7 P.M. Sordid Secrets of the Stars Zodiac Edition (Ages 21 and up)What's your sign? Enter our planetarium for a deep dive into the 12 signs of the zodiac. In this adults only show, we’ll talk about what your individual zodiac sign says about your personality, both in and out of the bedroom. We’ll also talk about which signs you're most compatible with, which signs to avoid, and the bizarre (and sometimes sultry) Greek myths that inspired the zodiac symbols.
