Missions

 

Reserve a seat in advance for a public show, or design a ‘Mission’ by scheduling a private showing of any offered star show for private parties, field trips, or family gatherings. From the comfort of the Jordan Planetarium theater, blast off on a Mission to explore the nearby planets, or view the outermost reaches of the galaxy. The Jordan Planetarium can be your vehicle for space exploration.

Star Shows

A catalog of show titles available for viewing in the Jordan Planetarium. The central feature of any mission with the Jordan Planetarium is the star show and these are the shows offered as family fare and field trip adventures.

The Jordan Planetarium offers weekly Family Star Shows, featuring a changing line-up from our star shows catalog. These Missions are open to all, although seating in the theater is limited. Calling ahead for reservations is recommended. Click here to see what's showing this week.

The Planetarium encourages visitors to create their own unique Mission by scheduling a private showing of a star show of your choice. You can reserve the theater for a group of up to 45 persons. Charges for private shows are $3.00 per person, and carry a minimum fee of $75.00. To schedule a private showing, call the planetarium office at (207) 581-1341, and please have ready the size and age range of your group, the date and time you would like to visit the planetarium, and your name and contact information. The Jordan Planetarium welcomes students and class field trips. For more detailed information for class trips, visit the field trips page.

Before your mission at the Jordan Planetarium, take a few moments to see what other guests have to say about their trips to the stars.
