Bays Mountain Park is home to a $1.3 million dollar state-of-the-art planetarium theater featuring a 40-foot dome, 6.1 surround sound and a Carl Zeiss ZKP-4 star projector that is so precise viewers can use binoculars to see details in two dozen deep-sky objects!

Planetarium theaters are unique in that they accurately reproduce the night sky under a hemispherical projection dome.

Public planetarium astronomy programs are geared for family audiences and are suitable for ages 6 and above.
