Camp Visits

Camp visits are available Tuesday through Friday, 9:30am–5pm, from July 8 through August 22, 2025, by reservation only. The last camp groups are admitted at 4pm.

Choose between 1-hour planetarium shows and 2-hour experiences that combine a planetarium show with a hands-on workshop. Please note, assisted hearing devices are available, and all planetarium shows end with live Q&A.

Reservations

Advance reservations are required. To lock in a program date, a 50% deposit must be placed and confirmed by the Museum no less than two weeks prior to the onsite visit but no earlier than July 1. Due to high demand, we recommend booking at least six weeks in advance.

Any requests to reschedule or cancel must be made in writing via email to Pedro Betanzos at pbetanzos@hrm.org at least two weeks prior to your confirmed onsite visit date in order to set a new date that is mutually acceptable, or to receive a refund or credit. Any group that fails to follow these requirements will forfeit the deposit.
