Can You See in the Dark?

Show designed specifically for Kindergarteners and First Graders

Watch as a city cousin visits his cousin in the country - and sees the  night sky like he's never seen it before. The cousins share a trip across the solar system. A shorter show structured for the sensibilities and attention span of younger children. Designed by a former preschool teacher who explored astronomical concepts with his classes. Please no children under 5.
Special $3 price.

What is  a Black Hole?

Explore the most exotic events in the cosmos: black holes, pulsars, supernovas and wormholes. Experience the most extreme forces in the universe as you cross the event horizon of a black hole and become "spaghettified!"  Seats are $5.

Please Help...

Are you concerned as to where our next generation of scientists and engineers are
 coming from? The Tessmann Planetarium
 has been inspiring students to study science and take up careers in science
and engineering for over 40 years.

We need your help and your donations.

Over 19,000 children visit the Tessmann Planetarium each year. But many schools are finding it difficult to send their students on field trips in these challenging  economic
times in California.

Help support science and astronomy
education in southern California. Your contribution may help inspire the next
Carl Sagan or Albert Einstein.

Make a difference in a child's life and contribute to the Planetarium's
endowment and field trip funds.
