Public Shows

After careful consideration, Fiske Planetarium has decided to make the difficult choice of canceling all public shows beginning March 13th through the end of May due to ongoing concerns related to COVID-19.

We typically have public shows on the following days:

  • MATINEES on Saturday & Sunday afternoons
  • EVENING shows on Thursday, Friday, & Saturday 
  • The rest of the week our planetarium theater is reserved for CU classes, K-12 field trips, and special rentals.
  • Our exhibit space is normally open to everyone throughout the week from 8am-5pm!

While you wait for the show to start, we invite you to marvel at our Science on a Sphere, interact with our educational exibits, enjoy our current art exhibit, and experience the scale of the solar system walk through campus.

Equal Access

Fiske Planetarium is committed to providing equal access to individuals with disabilities.

If you are planning to attend a show or event and will require accommodations, please contact us as soon as possible (a week prior to the show/event is ideal). We will make all reasonable efforts to fulfill your request, but may not be able to do so without advance notice. Additionally, we have an FM system and assisted listening devices available.
