Montana Skies
Join us for a live narrated show that explores the stars and planets you can see in the skies...
With a 40-foot dome and 110 reclining seats, join us for immersive shows that change with the seasons. The team consists of staff, volunteers, and Montana State University students, providing an educational and awe-inspiring experience for all ages. 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.
