Flandrau Science Center & Planetarium

The Flandrau Science Center & Planetarium is a dazzling multimedia theater and a truly unique educational experience, with 8,600 stars, galaxies, the Sun, the Moon, the planets, meteors, 30 projectors, two video systems and a sound system that is out of this world!

We offer a wide variety of planetarium shows for all ages available for both education and entertainment.

Spend an evening under the stars — several times a day — at Flandrau’s “Star Theater”!

During the year of construction, the UA Mineral Museum, located in the lower
level of Flandrau, will remain open by appointment (call 621-4227 for
reservations), and the Flandrau Observatory will remain open to the public
on its normal schedule of Wednesday through Saturday evenings from dusk to
10 p.m., weather permitting.
