The Blakemore Planetarium was wonderful with the usage of high-tech and a huge offering of engineering. The planetarium hall was gorgeous, and the projector system was delightful. The director and hostess were both very friendly. The cost was minimal. This is a hidden gem for Midland.

Might I humbly state: Learning is a spiritual matter more than we are taught to believe. Astronomy is not wrong. Understanding it for the purpose of guidance or manipulating its powers below its masterful purpose as selfish ambition is.

Its a pretty good experience for the whole family. Lots of interesting facts to learn about. The environment is pretty calm. My boys enjoy it. Weve been a few times.

Fair price for a small yet delightful venue. Loved the dome show! The gentleman hosting was kind, informative and enthusiastic which made it that much better. Go on a Saturday and start with the farmers market then move indoors to the planetarium and museum to round out the afternoon. 100% glad we went

Small planetarium with one main room with some information that can be read in about 10 minutes, but it also has a very high tech globe display. Movies only play every two hours and I didnt show up at the right time, so I missed out. There is another room with some fun little interactive physics for the kids.
