Happy Fall Equinox!

Just as the school year starts, so too does our programming at the Northcountry Planetarium!

We figured we would give you a sneak peak at our children's programming, Starlight Storytime!

Starlight Storytime is a free program aimed at developing childhood literacy. We read a book under the stars in the planetarium and offer related activities and crafts after to help bolster understanding and passion for all things related to space. As it gets closer to the event we will release the specific times and how you can reserve your seat.

We hope you'll join us under the stars!
