Our planetarium was built in 1972, that was initiated by a government supplemental through an initiative that was provided government funding through the "Race to Space" movement that happened in the late 1960s.
The planetarium is located inside of Kennedy Primary Academy in South Bend Indiana. The facility has an impressive 30-foot diameter dome, which provides a unique space in which students can explore the night sky.
The facility within the planetarium currently houses:
The planetarium serves the community with shows for the public, and by educating South Bend Community School kids in grades K-12. We also provide shows for other neighboring school (private & public) & interested groups!!!
