Reopening Update
The Adler Planetarium is excited to announce we will be opening our doors to guests once again beginning July 3 for weekend screenings of our famous sky shows! Tickets are on sale now! We’re also excited to announce a new public observing program, ’Scopes at the Adler! We’re welcoming people into the Doane Observatory (which recently got a new 24-inch reflecting telescope) for in-person public observing on clear nights this summer and fall. All of the details can be be found right here. Capacity for ’Scopes at the Adler events are extremely limited (only 12 tickets!), so you’ll want to join our Facebook Group or follow us on Twitter @adlerplanet to be the first to know when tickets for an evening event drops! Masks are required indoors for all guests and staff for your safety and the safety of those around you.
The museum will fully reopen in March 2022.
