Welcome to the Shiras Planetarium! đź‘‹

Located inside Marquette Senior High School, we’re proud to be the newest ZEISS planetarium in the United States and one of only three facilities in the U.S. operating using Uniview. 🌍✨

Please Note: As of January 1, 2024 we are a cashless facility. We no longer are able to accept cash or check as payment for tickets, field trips, or merchandise. More Details

Shiras Planetarium is tentatively planning to reopen in mid-October for both field trips and public programs. Early visitors lucky enough to catch a sneak peek have been stunned by the new capabilities—and we can’t wait to share them with the entire community.
 
Thank you for your patience and support as we build an exciting future together! Read Post
