The James S. McDonnell Planetarium opened in 1963 and is capable of projecting over 9,000 stars onto its 80 foot dome. Great displays featuring a Gemini and Mercury capsule, too. Get your science on.

In addition to being a rad place to learn about space year-round, the planetarium also hosts Warfactory's annual "LANetarium" LAN party, where you can play PC games versus hundreds of opponents. Read more

Check out one of the amazing star shows! The Little Star That Could is great for families and Trekies should check out Seeking New Earths! There's five other shows too! Lay under the stars and enjoy!

Honestly, on a hot July day, laying back in this cool dark room will knock anyone out regardless of how interesting the show is.

Best place for dogs to run around, no matter if you want flat land, hills or a lake for your dog. Just bring a drinking water when you and your dog get tired or hit the Boat House for good food. - Krazy For Pets
