Welcome to the Westminster College Planetarium HomepageWelcome to the Westminster College Planetarium website. With the economy only slowly improving, we are committed to keeping our shows free for everyone. There’s no better value in the area for an evening of science education and entertainment, so make your reservation today! With the ancient Mayan calendar set to roll-over in December 2012, we have introduced a new set of public shows and special lectures this year on Mayan history and astronomy – and on those doomsday scenarios propagating through the popular media. As always, we especially encourage K-12 classes, scouts, and other groups to contact us to schedule a free private viewing. We can tailor our presentation to meet your educational needs, including state education standards. We look forward to seeing you at a show soon.
