Portable Planetarium School Programs

A Portable Planetarium and Space Science Museum

The STEM field trip that comes to you!

Science Adventure Awaits!

The Arkansas SkyDome Portable Planetarium and Space Science Museum brings the wonders of the universe to schools and organizations across Tennessee and the south central United States. With one of the largest and most advanced digital portable planetarium systems in the region, we offer an immersive experience that takes students on an unforgettable journey through the cosmos.

Our Space Science Museum features rare NASA memorabilia, astronaut autographs going back to Project Mercury, rocket models, soil samples from around the globe, minerals, meteorites, fossils, and much more. Your program can also include a large telescope, allowing students to explore celestial objects in the real sky.

To our knowledge, we are the only service in the region that combines a portable planetarium with a science museum in one dynamic program.

We also have programs for scout, church and civic organizations!

School Planetarium Programs

School Day Science Programs
Our planetarium and science exhibits set up in your large indoor space bringing a star filled experience to your students. In addition to professionally produced full dome movies, the presentations include live, grade appropriate tours of the current night sky that inspires students to go outside and explore the heavens themselves. Hands on exhibits encourage students to explore various science topics and STEM careers.

School Math & Science Nights
If you’re holding a Math / Science night, our planetarium and telescope can be a center piece of the evening’s activities.  We’ve participated in many science night events so we can also be a resource on setting up a successful evening. 

Programs Include:

One of the largest and most advanced digital portable planetarium systems in the region.

NASA, Space & Earth science exhibits

Telescope to view the moon or the brightest planets and stars – even during the daytime! (optional)

Access to the same programming available in the largest planetariums in the world!
