IMAX and Dome shows cost nine dollars for adults and seven dollars for kids. Memberships to Clark Planetarium allow the membership card holder to watch unlimited movies for free. Visit clarkplanetarium.org for a full list of show times and events.
Explore the Exhibits
Exhibits are interactive and fun for all ages. Be prepared to take a journey through the solar system when you touch real meteorites and view a Moon rock collected by NASA astronauts James Irwin (who graduated from East High School in Salt Lake City) and David Scott. Get inspired and learn as you take an adventure through space one exhibit at a time.
Because Clark Planetarium is owned and operated by Salt Lake County, the planetarium is open to the public as a low-cost service to the community. All the profits made at the planetarium go back into educational programs for students in Utah.
Science demonstrations
If you are looking for family friendly activities in downtown Salt Lake City then Clark Planetarium is perfect for you! You will see our educators in their lab coats as they do eye catching science demonstrations in the lobby. Fire tornados and air cannons make learning exciting. These hands-on activities are great for all ages. After a visit to Clark Planetarium, you and your kids will go away with a new appreciation for science.
