Seats can be purchased until the show begins and doors open 15 minutes before the show. Because the theater is dark and can be scary for young children, we do not recommend bringing children under the age of 4. Some shows have bright lights and moving scenery which could cause motion sickness or seizures. There are routes out of the planetarium if you start to feel any ill effects.

Seats may typically be reserved online until 15 minutes before the start of the show, being purchased online with a credit card.  The planetarium will open for seating 15 minutes before each show.  You must be in the theater 10 minutes before the show starts.  There is no entry after the show begins.

For questions about the planetarium, our shows, or how to make reservations on UAATix.com, please contact the planetarium staff via email at planetarium@alaska.edu or by phone at (907) 786-1838.
