If u have to choose either this or the IMAX shows, no doubt this should be it. Free educational screening on stars and planets on selected mornings at 10.30am. Totally worth the ticket price. Amazing!

Marcus Smallegan

Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 10:30 AM, a Smithsonian Astronomer leads a complementary lecture using the digital dome exploring the night sky called "The Stars Tonight"; tickets free!

Trond Enger

Amazing experience. Better then any 3D or IMAX-theaters

Special Pricing: if you see any Smithsonian IMAX or Planetarium show and would like to see another Planetarium show, your tickets will all be $7 for the 2nd show! Valid for 7 days after 1st show.

The Dark Universe is my favorite show. Very educational .

Saw the Black Hole movie here... a little disappointed in the quality of the visual... the film is cool, of course, but I guess I'm spoiled by my HDTV.
