Saturday Planetarium Shows

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.

This includes the Native American Ojibwe Tribe, Modern Hawaiian Starlines of Polynesia, and ancient Imperial Chinese astronomy in Asia. This will be followed by a brief tour of the night sky tonight. (Best suited for ages 8-13)

11:30am The Sky Tonight
This 45 minute live tour of the stars showcases the constellations visible in the evening sky and takes you on a journey through our Solar System and beyond. (Suitable for all children and adults).
