The giant 60-foot dome theater is one of the most sophisticated multimedia presentation theaters in the country—presenting planetarium programs, large-format films and high-resolution digital video projections.
Be dazzled by the state-of-the-art, 3-dimentional immersive capability that takes you on a journey through the cosmos in stunning detail. Learn about the seasonal night sky and current celestial events, explore our solar system and travel to the stars and beyond to see the universe as never before. This planetarium is also Baton Rouge’s only 70 mm, 8-perf projection system featuring larger-than-life films that put you in the center of the action and by a 5.1, 15,000 watt digital surround sound.
The planetarium also offers 5,000 square feet of out-of-this-world exhibits, where you can weigh yourself on the moon, meet Galileo, and even touch a falling star—a meteorite a billion years older than any earth rock. (All text for this waymark was copied from this website: (
