Immersion Theater

Our Immersion Theater offers high-tech images on a 320-degree panoramic screen, surrounding viewers in imagery. This immersive visual experience can help you discover the world in new and exciting ways. From the macro to the micro, learn about astronomy, climate, weather, birding… or shrink down to peek inside a tree or travel through the water cycle. The Immersion Theater is a great tool to understand perspective and scales, showing relative distances and relationships between planets and stars.

Explore three topics using the touch screen:

  • Our Earth
  • Outer Space
  • Aldo Leopold

HOURS

The Immersion Theater is open to the public September through May,
when our facility is open (9am to 4pm on weekdays and 10am to 2pm on weekends)

Program participants may use the Immersion Theater temporarily, and a sign will indicate when the theater will reopen to the public.
