The SUNY Oneonta planetarium offers family-friendly shows for the public on Saturdays throughout the summer. Tickets are available on the planetarium website.
Tickets are $3 per seat per show. This small fee helps us offset the increasing costs of planetarium maintenance and allows us to offer the highly requested Saturday shows. Purchase your tickets online ahead of time to guarantee your seat. Unsold tickets will be available day-of, on a first-come-first-serve basis, cash only (exact change preferred). Walk-in seating is not guaranteed.
Please arrive 10 minutes early as doors close promptly at showtime.
