Such a great resource! Staff is very knowledgeable. Shows are always free - get there about 10 minutes early because the doors close at showtime. Public shows each Fri/Sat. We've been there for weekly shows as well as the Laser show they hold yearly.

During the school year, the Planetarium puts on free shows for the public, usually on Friday and Saturday nights. You have to arrive on time as they lock the doors when the show is scheduled to start. The shows are really very good, and the planetarium at YSU is one of the only in NE Ohio. It has also been recently updated with new seats and a new star projector. If you decide to attend YSU, if you take Astronomy 1504 or the lab, you get to use the planetarium for some of your classes, which is really pretty neat.

Visit here and be amazed by the sights and professionalism of the staff. A fun place to visit with the family kids love it

This really isn't going to hold anyones attention, let alone a child. I have done it twice with boy scouts. Kinda boring
