Family Program: Polaris, the Space Submarine and the Mystery of the Polar Night

James, a traveling penguin from the South Pole and Vladimir, a funny bear from the North Pole, meet on the Arctic sea ice. They become friends, talk about their respective regions and observe the stars together, wondering why the night is so long at the poles of the Earth. They try to solve this mystery by reasoning and observation. Each show will be followed by a live presentation of Tonight’s Sky. July 11th at 4 p.m. is a sensory friendly showing.

Tickets can be purchased online or at the door. Doors open 30 minutes before showtime. There is no food or drinks allowed in the planetarium. Please have proof of purchase ready to show at the door. UMD students will also be required to show their Student ID.
