Field Trips

Bring your class to the Ott Planetarium for a special show tailored to your needs. Our 60 seat theater can accommodate up to 55 students plus teachers and chaperons (we require at least 1 adult for every 10 students).

Since you'll be here anyway, why not visit the Museum of Natural Science?
