Grainger Sky Theater
Under the soaring 36-foot domed ceiling of the Adler’s premier sky theater, your guests will be completely immersed in your event. Ideal for a seated dinner, cocktail or lounge area, dance floor, or presentation, the Grainger Sky Theater provides an experience your guests won’t soon forget.
Rainbow Lobby
When afternoon sunlight streams through its prismatic doors, the Rainbow Lobby lights up with a cascade of little rainbows. Use the area for cocktails or as a colorful prelude to your event.

It’s no coincidence that Adler scientists use this space to explore astronomy topics with the general public—the Samuel C. Johnson Family Star Theater is the perfect setting for a lecture or presentation.
