Located on the roof-top deck, the Dark Sky Planetarium offers a panoramic, unobstructed view of the night sky. Live presentations led by Lowell educators guide visitors through the wonders of the universe. A large format, folding screen offers a close-up view of the marvels of the cosmos.

The Dark Sky Planetarium offers a unique stargazing experience by replacing a traditional planetarium dome with Flagstaff’s naturally stunning dark skies as the “ceiling.” Situated on the rooftop of the Astronomy Discovery Center, the open-air setting emphasizes the connection to nature while making use of advanced technology for interactive elements. It features heated seats and custom audiovisual components to enhance theatrical,  live presentations. These include laser-guided constellation tours and interactive educational content, all while immersing visitors in the natural brilliance of the night sky.
