The Fels Planetarium
The Fels' Planetarium is the nations second oldest planetarium. Although it is a historic cornerstone to The Franklin Institute, the planetarium has come a long way from the "Giant Ant" (Zeiss Optical) projector some of you may remember from when you were kids. Now, this state-of-the-art digital projection planetarium offers the same traditional Sky Tonight presentations along with cutting edge astronomical presentations. The awe inspiring dome measures 60 feet across and 4 stories tall, which coupled with surround sound, makes the planetarium experience one you will not soon forget.
The Franklin Institute celebrates World Space Week in October with informative lectures from experts, special shows in the three theaters at The Franklin Institute, demonstrations and in-museum activities for the whole family.
