Review & FAQ:

Located at the New Paltz State University of New York, the John R. Kirk Planetarium is a popular destination for learners of all ages. The planetarium is an indoor theater that seats 44 people. A projector displays images of stars, planets, and other astronomical bodies onto the theater's domed ceiling.

The planetarium often hosts students, church groups, and scouting organizations since many of its presentations are geared toward a younger audience. However, businesses and families can easily schedule private shows by reaching out to the planetarium's director.
