Learn which planet is home to the Labyrinth of Night, why Pluto is named after the underworld, and which monster from Greek mythology was the scariest – do you think it’s Medusa, the Minotaur, the Hydra, or the Chimera?

Our Planetarium is an inflatable dome. Guests sit on cushions on the floor of the planetarium to view the show. Space is limited to 25 guests per show; reserving tickets in advance is required for this reason. On show night, please arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled showing. Please call 850-664-1261, stop by the Science Center, or use our online ticketing option to reserve your tickets.

Shows begin at 5, 6, and 7 p.m. and last approximately 45 minutes.

We will host special spooky activities in our front classroom 30 minutes before show time! Come before your show to participate. Due to the nature of our planetarium, the rest of the museum's exhibits will not be functional during this event so outside light and sound do not interfere inside the dome.

"In the final days of the 2025 session, Florida lawmakers quietly passed Senate Bill 180 — a bill described as hurricane relief but packed with sweeping restrictions on local planning. It freezes local governments’ ability to adopt stronger land-use and development rules for years, even if those rules have nothing to do with storm recovery. Communities are already seeing long-planned growth protections overturned. SB 180 strips local governments of their ability to protect residents, manage flooding, and guide growth — and it must be fixed in 2026."

Thursday, November 13, 2025, at 6:00 PM CT / 7:00 PM ET. Join us as we welcome Guest Speaker Kim Dinkins, Policy and Planning Director, 1000 Friends of Florida, who will provide a general overview of SB180 and the implications it has for our communities, followed by what we can expect to see in the 2026 legislative session with regards to the bill - i.e., amendments to the original language, etc.
