    So glad I decided to stop by and check this place out! Admission to see the gallery is free, and…read moreeven though it's quite small there's lots of cool things to see. They have some meteorite samples you can touch, and this super cool dark room that has artwork of the planets from the point of view of their moons. They also have some coloring activities for young children. It only takes about 20 minutes to see the whole thing, but it's a cool experience.

    I went here with my girlfriend after a dinner date. Two two of us are recent alumni of MSU…read more Neither of us had gone to the planetarium as students. Admission is only $3.00 for the approximately 1-hour show. It was a bit boring at first, but got more interesting as the show proceeded on. The projection technology isn't state-of-the-art by any means, but it's good enough for a very interesting show. From what I understand, it was the first planetarium to rely solely on computer graphics for its projections, which it pretty cool. After the show, they set up a telescope outside, usually pointed at something cool like a planet) and let you take a look if the weather permits. It was cloudy last night, so we didn't get to experience this part of the show. Overall, I highly recommend this if you're looking for a relaxing, inexpensive thing to do on the weekend. It's great for anyone. Whether you go as a family, on a date, or just by yourself, you'll enjoy it. I would love to see this place get the funding to upgrade its projection system. I know this building is on the potential chopping block in the university's master plan, so that may be why they haven't made any changes. Rumor is that if they do tear it down, they will rebuild it somewhere else. We all know how promises like that don't always happen. This is truly a hidden gem at MSU. Check it out!
