Greek Myths and Legends

Many of the constellations we can see in our night sky appear as characters in Greek myths. You'll hear tales of monsters, animals, gods, heroes and princesses, and you'll learn how to identify the associated constellations.

Explore astronomy themes as a family!

The Star Families series is designed for children (ages 7-12) accompanied by their families. This special program is also good for Scout troops, 4-H clubs and other groups that involve children and caregivers learning together. Star Families series provides a live, kid-friendly fulldome experience with immersive visuals.

Arrive before your show or stay after to browse our interactive exhibits, science demo spaces, and Cosmic Goods gift shop.

Tickets are on sale online and at our Box Office (open Tuesday to Sunday).
