Adler Planetarium

Adler After Dark

This fun evening for adults 21 and over takes place every third Thursday of the month from 6-10pm. Enjoy music, cocktails, and an exclusive sneak peek of the planetarium after hours. Each month the entertainment is different, but you always get an unforgettable view of the skyline. Just get your tickets early, because the event almost always sells out.
 

Group Visits

Groups of school children, scouts, adults, and seniors are all welcome at Adler Planetarium. Just email groups@adlerplanetarium.org for more information and to arrange a guide.
