Location and Directions

The West Chester University Planetarium is used daily for all astronomy classes and labs and is a central component of the department's outreach activities. Over 5000 thousand young people visit the Planetarium each year.

We offer weekly shows for school groups (including pre-K) during the fall and spring semesters.  Follow the link for school groups to see what days and times shows are offered and how to book a visit for your group.

We also offer monthly evening shows for the general public.  You can get more information on these shows by following the general public link.  These shows fill up fast!

The planetarium is closed to the public for the summer.

We hope to see you soon at the planetarium!
