Planetarium and large-format film at the museum

Why go

The planetarium uses a domed screen for astronomy and science stories; the theater grew out of the museum’s older Phipps Auditorium and was adapted for large-format film. Both are inside the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, so they work as additions to a gallery visit rather than separate destinations.

Useful to know

• Check the museum’s current program and ticket terms before planning around a show.
• Choose a show time first, then use the surrounding time for nearby museum galleries.
