Wednesday Evening Public Events

This Spring we will have public events every Wednesday evening! They are free (reservations required), and designed for all ages. All events begin at 7pm and last approximately one hour. These shows are for individuals and families. All ages are welcome.

For school groups wishing for a fieldtrip opportunity, we also offer Friday morning planetarium shows. Please see the UW Planetarium page for more information.

Schedule

Please see the schedule for the dates of Wendesday evening activities.

Reserving Tickets

Due to high demand for these events, we have begun to use a lottery system to issue tickets. Tickets will generally be available 2-4 weeks before the event. Please join our email list to receive updates!
