- Wisconsin Skies
- Great for scout groups working on merit badges! The first hour of Wisconsin Skies consists of stargazing under the planetarium dome, where your group will view their favorite constellation, star or planet, and ask questions. The second hour will shift outdoors to the real sky and showcase the Planetarium's new telescopes (weather permitting). Telescope demonstrations will be given inside in the main concourse.
