As of today, all of our public shows have been added to our calendar. Make sure to check out all the "awesome" things we have planned for the rest of 2023!
Yesterday marked the end of the 2022-2023 school groups for us @hdplanetarium! Thanks to all school groups, daycares, pre-schools, parochial schools, and home-school groups who came to visit us this past year. We love having you and we hope you will join us at some point during 2023-2024! #wherethestarshangout
Hartland South Elementary is visiting today! Excited to be sharing my dome with them on one of their last day of schools. There are many first timers here!
Another exciting day at the planetarium. Not only did we have a sold out public show at 11am, but we had a brand new visitor outside the Retzer Nature Center. Check out the attached picture of our newest friend. Life is precious!
Thank you again to the Waukesha Education Foundation and Generac Power Systems Inc. for the support! We are more than excited to start the planning and implementation of these new opportunities! #WEFGrantsWork #wherethestarshangout
Alex and Kelly from the planetarium had a blast at Summit View's Family Night this week! Kiddos were able to read, color, or create their zodiac sign with marshmallows and toothpicks! We had some awesome students answering some of our trivia questions, too! Thank you for including us!
Guess what? The planetarium staff realized by the end of this week we will have had over 30,000 visitors this school year! It has been a very fun year with a lot of great things happening! Thanks to all have visited us!
Today was a great day for a fieldtrip. Thanks Waukesha Catholic third graders and Jefferson middle schoolers for coming to visit. I hope you enjoyed your day.
Last night was our last offering of Mesmerica for 2023! Thanks to all who joined us for one of almost 100 shows! See tuned for our next special planetarium feature, hopefully coming SUMMER 2023.
Did you hear news? Possible auroras later tonight and we don't mean the auroras you see on the planetarium wall. Check out the Waukesha Patch article for further details.

Today we are thrilled to host Hartland North 1st graders and Riverview Elementary 4th graders later today. We can definitely hear the excitement by all! #wherethestarshangout
As the school year winds down, the staff @hdplanetarium is excited to purchase and develop the layout of their first ever laser camp. Initial funding for the project is thanks to a grant from WSST. Thanks WSST!
