Fodor's Review:

Navigate your way through the solar system with interactive and state-of-the-art exhibits that appeal to planetarium traditionalists as well as technology-savvy kids and adults. The museum uses computer games, videos, short films, and hands-on devices to teach physics and astronomy basics like the Doppler effect. Two different planetariums unlock the mysteries of the stars.

Cost: $16 museum admission and 1 show, $20 museum admission and 2 shows. Free Mon. and Tues. Jan., Feb., Oct., and Nov. Discount weeks throughout the year
Open: 9:30 AM-4:30 PM (except 1st Fri. of month when open until 10 PM); summer hours 9:30 AM-6:30 PM (except 1st Fri. of month when open until 10 PM)
