Global Soundscapes: Mission to Record the Earth

Travel the globe with scientists to investigate the spectacular soundscapes of Costa Rica’s rainforests, Hawaii’s coral reefs, and Mongolia’s vast grasslands. Learn how animals use sounds to survive and communicate in lush, but threatened environments. Experience basic acoustics through interactive activities and incredible slow-motion footage of pulsating musical instruments, vibrating vocal cords, and slobbering “raspberries.” With Global Soundscapes’ unique format—combining full-dome imagery, surround sound, and live presentation—you’ll hear the Earth in a whole new way.

Our Planetarium is an inflatable dome. Guests sit on cushions on the floor of the planetarium to view the show. 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. 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 and 6 p.m. and last approximately 45 minutes.

Our planetarium is sponsored by FPL

Celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2025, the classic Peanuts gang comes to life in this musical adaptation of Charles M. Schulz’s beloved mid-century comic strip. Originally debuting off-Broadway in 1967, this vibrant production revolves around the daily antics of Charlie Brown and friends Schroeder, Lucy, Sally, Linus and Snoopy, who push and pull each other through various musical numbers and escapades. Ultimately, through an environment of friendship, Charlie and generations of audiences have had the opportunity to come together as a community and explore what being a ‘good man’ really means, which is treating others with respect and empathy.
