Review & FAQ:

Clark Planetarium is Salt Lake City's new planetarium building, opened to the public in 2003 to replace the city's historic Hansen Planetarium. The downtown planetarium facility showcases the nation's first pitless digital planetarium dome and offers 190 seats with individual interactive console controls, along with a certified IMAX large-screen theater showcasing nature and science films. Though planetarium and IMAX showings require a ticketed upcharge, visitors can explore the planetarium's museum for free, which offers three levels of exhibits dedicated to the earth, the solar system, and deep space. Hands-on exhibits include a NOAA computer animation globe, a Foucault pendulum, and an authentic moon rock on permanent loan to the facility from NASA.
