Reservation Information

The Charles F. Hagar Planetarium offers programs for the public.  Free "school-group" planetarium shows are generally held during the fall/spring semesters.  Show duration is ~1hr.  School shows are free to students but we gladly accept donations to assist in the upkeep of this service to the Bay-area community. 

The Hagar planetarium can also be made available to non-school groups as well as corporate functions and events.  In those cases, donations would be required.




At present, the planetarium is closed for maintenance, but our regular schedule will resume soon. Please check back for updates.

Guidelines for visitors:

• If In Use light is on, that means show has started and we can not admit any additional people.
• Scheduled school shows must arrive on time due to several shows being scheduled back-to-back.  If you are late you must call us.  If group is late more than 20 minutes with no communication, show will be cancelled.  
• We advise taking children to the restroom (located down the hall) before entering.  Opening the doors during show will blind other patrons who are enjoying the show.
• We are not a baby-sitting service.  We have a zero-tolerance policy towards violence.
• We are disabled person accessible.
• We do not recommend that children under 4 attend the shows.
• Please turn off your cell phone, bluetooth devices, video games, blackberries before entering. No light-up shoes allowed.
• Relax, enjoy yourself and bring questions!
