freedom in the north.

minutes.
Our Planetarium is an inflatable dome. Guests sit on
cushions on the floor of the planetarium to view the show. Due to social

this planetarium event for adults (18 ). Explore Meso-American legends and
mythology hidden in the sky as you take a trip through the cosmos during the

adult event, as those Mayan, Incan, and Aztec gods definitely didn’t keep
things rated PG!
