“Halloween: Celestial Origins” will be shown at 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27 and is recommended for ages 5 and up.

“Ooky Spooky” will be shown at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27 and is appropriate for all ages. This show features Halloween songs visually enhanced with animation on our full-dome screen.
