International Dark Sky Week Program just added!

NORTH PENN PLANETARIUM

Wonders of the Night Sky Program 12/15/25

Here is an important announcement for tonight's program in the planetarium.
Due to the severe weather we experienced over the weekend the parking conditions for tonight's program are not ideal.
As a result you have two options for entering the building to attend tonight's program.

Enter by the main door to the building, which is definitely dryer/clearer. Allow about 5 minutes to walk to the planetarium. Walk down the concourse and go past the auditorium. Turn Right and walk till you get to the first hallway and turn left. Walk down the hall and turn right at the first hall. Continue walking and make a little left/then a right to get to C Pod. Continue walking to C-25.
Planetarium door C3. Park and enter using the diagram below. Note that this entrance will be a little messier due to the left over snow.

I look forward to seeing everyone tonight. Clear Skies!
