Planetarium
Welcome to the MMSD Planetarium!
CLOSED FOR THE SUMMER... see you all in September!
The Madison Metropolitan School District Planetarium (MMSD Planetarium) provides immersive experiences for groups and public audiences bringing out-of-this-world concepts down to Earth. The planetarium is a field trip destination for explorers of all ages.

In this multi-media theater, we can simulate the day and night sky on our domed ceiling to explore a vast array of concepts related to astronomy, space exploration and other STEAM topics.
Group programs are offered during the school day, with a very limited number of after school and evening programs that may be scheduled as well.
Public programs are offered on a monthly basis, in the evenings, throughout the school year.
The planetarium also offers a telescope loan program.
