About Us

The Casper Planetarium is Wyoming's oldest planetarium and has been in continuous operation since 1966.  Housing the latest digital planetarium technology from Digitalis Education Solutions, the planetarium is Casper's virtual starship and time machine.

As a part of the Natrona County School District, the Casper Planetarium's primary focus is the support of the K-12 curriculum standards in science. The NCSD Planetarium supports classroom curriculum with shows, lessons, and activities specifically designed to meet their grade level standards.  

Out-of-town schools and civic groups can also visit the planetarium by contacting the NCSD Activities Office.

In addition to classroom visits, the planetarium also offers shows to the general public.  Please see the information below on Planetarium hours and showing.
