History
Since our doors first opened in 1965, hundreds of thousands of students ranging from lower elementary to university, community members, and visitors to our area have come to the Shiras Planetarium to be entertained and educated. The Shiras Planetarium offers daily programs to schools from across the U.P. and weekly programs for the public and special groups. We serve a valuable and unique need of the people of the Upper Peninsula.
Specialties
We are a planetarium located within a high school whose primary focus is educating students through field trips and class visits. We offer public star shows a couple times a month. Laser shows are offered as a way to raise funds for new equipment!
