Now Showing at Millholland Planetarium
In this adventure, Little Star learns what makes each star special, and discovers that stars combine to form star clusters and galaxies. Little Star even finds his planets and each is introduced with basic information about our Solar System.


The deep sea is one of the most mysterious and little-explored regions of Earth. We know more about the surface of the Moon than we do about the wonders hidden beneath the waves of our planet's seas. The show shares glimpses of rarely seen marine organisms: bioluminescent frogfish, jellyfish, vampire squid, viperfish, pelican eels, and the mysterious fangtooth.



LazerDaze
 
Featuring music from Foreigner, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Genesis,
and ZZ Top, enjoy the sights and sounds of LaserDaze,
CSC's latest laser show.
