 PARKING:  $5.00 (see directions for Parking Pass information!)

 Registration Deadline: Thursday, June 11 or until full

 

            We will see a 50 minute video, Voyage of the Planets and learn all about the solar system, where the planets are and how they move around the Sun as we blast off from Earth’s surface in our ship and tour the planets!  After the video we will have an activity involving Rocket Building and Launching for 30-40 minutes.  This will be outdoors so come prepared for an active outdoor event.  Our group will have a great time designing, building and launching their own rockets that they can keep.   The rockets are made of lightweight paper and foam and can fly over 100 ft high! Your rockets will be launched using compressed air on the lawn north of the planetarium. We believe that exercise and fitness is an important part of education, so we encourage you to be active and try to catch your foam tipped rocket on its decent.
