A Great Opportunity for Out-Of-Town Schools!

Available on Tuesday's year-round. 

Please call 403-268-8311 to book!

STARLAB is a portable planetarium that is used for astronomy education. It is an exciting and unique learning environment that allows your students to discover the wonders of the universe. We provide everything you need – even the astronomy presenter.

Each STARLAB presentation is approximately 45 minutes long.

NOTE: The STARLAB planetarium is wheelchair-accessible and can accommodate a maximum of 25 students and their teacher. It also requires a large unobstructed space with a high ceiling. The minimum dimensions of the space required to setup the STARLAB is 6.4m x 6.4m x 3.4m [21’ x 21’ x 11’] and for this reason it is usually setup in a gymnasium, library, or multi-purpose room.
