Taylor Swift, The Beatles, Pink Floyd and more! Calusa Nature Center & Planetarium Unveils New Laser Shows Through November!

Updated: Nov 5

Fort Myers, FL — The Calusa Nature Center & Planetarium, Southwest Florida's only planetarium, has recently completed a stunning renovation, transforming it into a modern marvel equipped for unforgettable experiences. A standout feature of the newly refurbished facility is an exhilarating lineup of laser shows that promise to mesmerize audiences of all ages starting Friday, November 8 and playing all month long!


With a new roof, upgraded flooring, and plush reclining seats, the planetarium offers an immersive environment enhanced by a state-of-the-art Digitarium Lambda Plus laser-projection system and a 5.1 surround-sound system. The grand reopening took place in September, showcasing the center's commitment to providing exceptional programming and entertainment.


November is here, and that means our Laser Shows are back! 

Throughout November, come jam out to Pink Floyd, Prince, Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, and many more! Tickets are just $15, but hurry—some shows will sell out fast!


Enjoy your favorite performers in a dome 360 laser show like you’ve never seen before!
