Pierce College Planetarium
Tacoma,stars,night,sky
Pierce College’s Science Dome, a simulated night-time experience in its 58-seat digital planetarium. Being the only one in the area, you’ll enjoy its 38-foot-wide, domed screen displaying the night sky.
One of the staff typically dedicates 25 minutes of their presentation to explaining Doppler shifts, astronomical spectroscopy, and space telescopes. The presentation is illustrated by another staffer projecting on the dome planets, stars and the night sky. It’s a visual feast for the eyes.

Children’s shows (ages 3-8): 12:30 and 2 pm on Saturdays
