Also happening May 25th is Skywatch!

Fourth Saturdays of every month through November (additional second Saturdays during Summer months)
9–11 pm

What cosmic wonders lie just out of reach, waiting to be discovered among the starry frontier? Guests are invited to reconnect with the night sky through a featured planetarium performance and, weather-permitting, live views of night sky objects in stunning telescopic detail. In addition to the rooftop observing session, a complementary suite of indoor astronomical experiences will be accessible and comfortable for all guests. The events are rain or shine. We may not offer Rooftop Viewing based on the safety of our guests and equipment.

Doors open at 8:45 pm. Additional summer dates scheduled for Saturdays: June 8, July 13, and Aug. 10. Please note the November SkyWatch runs from 7–9 pm.
