Abrams Planetarium
Abrams Planetarium has been serving the greater Lansing area for about 60 years. We provide astronomy education programming for all ages. We have special events and explore how we can use the planetarium to teach about any topic in the universe. Public programs are on the weekend and include sensory friendly shows ever third Sunday of the month. We also have sensory kits available for any show or program. Field trips and group shows are available during weekdays. Accessibility information provided by Choose Lansing (Greater Lansing CVB) as destination input and supplemented with public data from the venue's website; not verified on-site by AbleVu.
