Our shows last approximately 45-60 minutes. After the show, our telescope assistants invite you to the rooftop telescope for live viewing of the night sky. Check out the Plan Your Visit section of our website for information about What to ExpectFAQs, Parking and Directions, Accessibility and more.

Dynamic Earth explores the inner workings of Earth’s great life support system: the global climate.
