UCLA Planetarium
Public planetarium shows are free and suitable for all ages, and are usually given by current astronomy graduate students. The content of a show varies by presenter, but commonly includes discussion about the current night sky, constellations, astronomical phenomena, and more!
Public shows are hosted every Wednesday when UCLA is in session during the Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters.
See the UCLA academic calendar for details about the UCLA schedule.

Tickets for public shows are free and can be requested from the links below! A subset of the seats will be available to reserve 1 week before the show for those guests that would like to ensure a guaranteed seat. The remainder of the tickets will be released on a first-come, first-serve basis one hour prior to the start of the show at the planetarium. Ticket holders that are not present 15 minutes before the show begins will automatically forfeit their seat, which will be given to those in the queue. There are no late arrivals.
To request a private show, please submit this form. Please note that the UCLA planetarium offers private shows only to educational groups, with a minimum party size of 15. We are currently accepting requests for Winter 2024. The deadline is January 1.
