Quick Summary: A planetarium is one of the best places for people to learn about and experience the majesty and beauty of the expansive universe around them. These dome-shaped astronomical theaters transport guests from light-polluted cities to the night sky, planets, and the galaxies beyond on an adventure to learn about meteors, constellations, black holes, and so much more. Planetariums are a great way for people of all ages to spend a few hours or a day, particularly on a cold or rainy day. Fortunately, there are plenty of excellent planetariums for people to enjoy throughout the world.
