The La Crosse University planetarium provides
instruction and astronomical shows to both private and
school groups.
TO
SCHEDULE A SHOW, EMAIL
verrall.stev@uwlax.edu
For
Spring 2010, the planetarium is open on Mondays,
Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from January 25 to May 31.
Shows can last from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on how
much updated information you want presented and the
attention span of your group.
The
earliest a show can start is 9:30am and the latest is
4:30pm. The planetarium must close at 5:30pm, so
4:30pm shows are limited to 60 minutes.
Unfortunately, 4:30pm is too early for most scout
groups. Perhaps scout leaders can encourage their
scouts' school teachers to schedule a show?
We have maximum
searing capacity of 55 adults or 70 children under a 24 foot
dome.
Our basic fee of $3 per
person has not changed. This now applies to groups
of between 7 and 40 people. To accommodate smaller
groups and to discourage extremely large groups, the
fee structure has changed:
6 or fewer people: $20
7 to 40 people: $3 per
person
40 to 70 people: $120
Over 70 people: $120
for the first 70 people, plus $3 for each additional
person
Our facility has been recognized in Physics Today,
The Alumnus and LaCrosse Magazine.
Our goal is to provide educational outreach for the
Tri-state area and to raise awareness of the value of
science through Astronomy.
Please refer to the links for additional information.
The Interplanetary Magnetic Field is the
lowest in possibly hundreds of years. Could this
have implications for Earth's climate?
Thank you for visiting our website and may you have
clear skies
