The Planetarium

We has so much fun at the Clark Planetarium.

 My brother & sister in law gave us a year long membership for Christmas so we headed downtown a couple weekends ago to check it out. The family membership was up to five people so I was able to get Ashleigh's best friend, Kylee on our membership. 

We watched the move, Black Holes, in the dome theater. Unlike a regular movie theater, the screen is actually on the ceiling. The graphics were amazing, although three of us ended up with headaches. As the stars and universe kept rotating, I got dizzy and had to close my eyes a few times.

We decided the dome theater was pretty cool, but we will only see the movies that we really, really, want to see. Otherwise, we will stick to the regular big screen theater they have.



 

After the movie, we looked at all the exhibits (which are great) and had a blast taking pictures in the Mars and the Moon scenes. Of course we wanted to try astronaut food so we got Neapolitan and mint chocolate chip ice cream. Surprisingly, it tasted exactly like the real thing, just with a very odd texture.

Super strength on Mars!

I think we are going to go again this weekend.
