The Calusa Nature Center's planetarium opened in December of 1986. In 2020 we upgraded to a Digitarium Lambda-Plus projection system and installed a brand new surround-sound audio system.

The interior of the planetarium can accommodate performances and presentations, making it a highly versatile space for speakers, plays, small concerts, weddings, private parties, and other special events.

​

As the only planetarium between Miami and Bradenton, we need your investment to complete the renewal of our inner space. We have large donor support and a foundation grant that has launched the planetarium to begin our renovation process. With your generous donation, we can continue to help our visitors and children reach for the stars!
