- 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.
- Celestial Birthday Bash
- See the sky as it was the day you were born, or show a birthday sky for a special family member or friend! This unique birthday show features a personalized, celestial birthday cake and a tour through the solar system to see how old the birthday person would be on other planets—including Pluto!
- Romancing the Stars
- Our popular Valentine's show can now be presented for your wedding proposal, anniversary or special romantic night. Romancing the Stars can be personally crafted with names and pictures of your loved ones for any special celebration – no matter if its for two of you, or 200 of your closest friends.
