The Star Families series is designed for children (ages 7-12) accompanied by their families. This special program is also good for Scout troops, 4-H clubs and other groups that involve children and caregivers learning together.

Please note: Star Families is currently on a brief pause. While we work to get this stellar show back in your orbit, you can find other programs and planetarium experiences on our calendar.
