tour of the universe

Every night at Primland a unique experience awaits. An unforgettable activity – our Tour of the Universe. This extraordinary nightly program starts with an outside demonstration of the season’s visible constellations and planets. We then finish with an explanation of Stellar Evolution using our Celestron 14″ telescope. Stellar Evolution encompasses everything from star formation to star death, galaxy formation, and the grand scale of the Universe. We promise you’ll have a new respect for the sky after-wards.

Adults – 75
Children -
6 years through 17 years – 25
5 years-infants – no charge
 
Every show is unique with an average length of 1.5 to 2 hours.
 
For special accommodations or telescope configurations please request in advance to smartin@primland.com.
 
In the event of inclement weather (i.e.partly to mostly cloudy, rain/snow/ice/lightning) we offer a virtual Tour of the Universe. This utilizes all the aspects of the outside show but uses saved images in lieu of live images.
