Add Review/Comment

Thousands of years ago, Polynesian explorers reached the Hawaiian Islands and the volcano Mauna Kea. Today, astronomers are modern-day explorers who come to the observatories of Mauna Kea to examine the Universe. Find out why the "White Mountain" of Hawaii is one of the best locations on the Earth for astronomical explorations. Discover the great instruments of Mauna Kea - how they work and what is being discovered with them. Examine how the largest reflective telescope in the world is helping people explore to the very edges of the universe. (grade 6 to adult) Doors close promptly at show time and late seating is not permitted due to safety regulations. After each of our evening shows, there is always the opportunity to observe the real sky through a telescope at our observatory, which is located directly across from the planetarium. The observatory is free of charge. It is open every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 8:00-10:00 pm.
