Morehead Planetarium and Science Center

So fun. Saw the show about Mars. College students ran the show and did a great job. Very interesting and engaging. Hands on science museum on the outside of the theater was a blast. They had a lab where you could build things too. Lots of fun. Well worth the trip.

We saw the magic tree house show and it was excellent for little kids. They had so much fun! Update: Visited again, and it was just as amazing as always. Took some students for a few of the activities and they loved them!

Such a great venue. We usually take kids with us but this time it was just adults and we had a great time. Always manage to learn a few things. Staff is helpful and informative. Definitely worth a visit. They had paid limited parking on site but I can see where they might fill up during busy periods

Pretty boring if you don’t see a film. Definitely not worth the drive from Raleigh to just walk thru the lobby and read a couple exhibits- some don’t even work. Feels like it should be free if you don’t see a movie. $44 for 4 of us to walk thru was a super bummer. Donation to the cause I guess. There’s not even a telescope or pendulum or much space stuff that I’ve come to expect at similar places- so odd to me. So disappointed.

OMG...Izzy was our host and she was delightful, knowledgeable and had the most soothing voice. Our topic was Super Massive Black holes and I definitely needed to be soothed as I was on edge about the topic. Kudos to Izzy, Morehead Planetsrium and UNC!
