Review:
As part of the University of South Carolina Aiken, the Dupont Planetarium 's mission is to inspire people to explore the splendor of the sky. This intimate theater has a 30-foot diameter and only 45 seats and is a popular venue for private shows and events.
Public shows are held every Saturday evening, and reservations are recommended.
Shows typically focus on astronomy, but other topics like weather and biology are sometimes covered. The planetarium's other attractions include two sundials, a camera obscura, a walk-in kaleidoscope, and an observatory. Weather permitting, the observatory is open to the public every Saturday night after the show.
