The team consists of staff, volunteers, and Montana State University students, providing an educational and awe-inspiring experience for adults and children ages 5+. Except where noted as a Children's Show, shows are not recommended for ages five and under. All shows and showtimes are subject to change or cancellation without notice. The planetarium is open year-round except for when the main museum is closed.

Show Pricing is Free for MOR members, General Admission + $5/non-member/show, age 5+, and Free per non-member age 0 – ­4. 

Tickets can be obtained at the Front Desk. Tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable.

Please arrive 10 – 15 minutes early to secure your seat, as the doors close promptly at the top of the hour. For your safety, late admission is not permitted. Food and beverages are not allowed in the planetarium.
