Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many people can fit in the planetarium at one time?
   Twenty five to thirty students can comfortably sit on the floor of the dome.
2. How can 25 people breathe in that oversized beachball?
   The air in the planetarium is continually refreshed by an air blower, which also serves to keep the planetarium inflated.
3. For what ages are your programs appropriate?
   We believe that you are never too young or too old to learn about the sky. Cosmic Adventures has visited (and been well received) at venues ranging from preschools (three- and four- year-olds) to all-ages-welcome "outer space" nights.
4. What are your rates?
   Costs are based on presentation time as follows:
   $175 first hour
   $100 each additional hour
   Program lengths can vary from 20 - 50 minutes depending on topic and audience. Partial hours beyond the first are prorated.

5. What are the room size and electrical requirements for the planetarium?
   The dome requires a clean, quiet, indoor facility with access to a grounded outlet, a minimum height of 11 feet, and floor space of about 20 feet by 20 feet. Set up and take down require approximately one hour each.
