4.0Abrams Planetarium(38 reviews) - New state-of-the art computer graphics Sunday: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM Observatories & Planetariums
Took my kids years ago and it was good. Recently took the grandkids to see the new upgrade and it's amazing. Very sharp stars. If I'm not mistaken, the seating was all new also. Well worth it to take the kids. Speaking of which, ticket prices are very reasonable for kids and adults. Public shows on Friday and Saturday evenings and two shows on Sunday afternoon. Well worth the trip to East Lansing (the planetarium is on the sprawling campus of Michigan State University).See more..
