Requirements
We have two different domes to meet your needs.
*Small Dome - A 20' x 20' cleared area and 12' ceiling height. (Holds up to 25 kids)
*Large Dome- A 25' x 25' cleared area and 15' ceiling height (Holds up to 50 kids)
*Access to electrical outlets.
*Clean, swept floor
*Please schedule, 50-minute time blocks for programs. This time includes 5-10 minutes to give initial directions and enter the planetarium, 30 minutes for the astronomy show, and 5 minutes to exit the dome. Please allow 10 minutes between each session. This gives the astronomer time to prepare for the next group. Each session, therefore, is a total of 50 minutes with an additional 10 minutes passing time. (Total time required for each program: 1 hour)
*We hope the teacher will accompany his or her students into the planetarium, although we understand some may be unable. Each show must have at least one adult in attendance to help supervise. For handicapped persons, the dome can be lifted..
