Buehler Planetarium and Observatory

Located on the A.Hugh Adams central campus of the Broward Community College offers a broad spectrum of planetarium events. Its erection was made possible thanks to a generous donation from the Emil Buehler Trust. With its Zeiss M 1015 projector and its modern audiovisual equipment, this is one of the most advanced planetariums in South Florida. Astronomy lovers are offered sky presentations and telescope observing at the Observatory. Hours: Wednesday Friday and Saturday 8:00pm-10:00pm Price: Free/Adults and children.
