Comments

The entire space is low light. Strobe lights can be turned off for performances, an ASL interpreter can be made available and films can be closed captioned all with advanced notice. Closed Caption is always on during Saturday shows. If it is a live show, there is not a closed captioned option. Shows are dark, loud and involve a lot of motion. The Planetarium has a T-coil hearing loop installed. Seating can be configured in any way very easily to allow for people using wheelchairs to sit virtually anywhere in the theatre.
