ROCK THE DOME 2026

• Shows are approximately 45 minutes in length.

• Shows are free, but a donation of at least $1 per person is appreciated to pay for the laser system rental.

• There are no advanced reservations – seating is on a first come, first served basis.

• The planetarium holds 144 people. Please have ALL members of your party with you before getting in line. We will be issuing ONE TOKEN to each person in line. 
  If you have a token, you are guaranteed a seat.

• Latecomers CANNOT be admitted once the show has started. We will NOT be able to run overflow shows.

• Lines for the next show will begin once the previous attendees have entered the planetarium.

• After each show, the entire audience will leave before seating the next show – if you want to see 2 shows in a row, you must exit between shows.

• We are expecting large crowds for some shows, please be patient with our staff and volunteers. 

Parking

• PARKING is available at the Wick Avenue Parking Deck - 459 Wick Ave. There may be a $5 charge but there are always parking spaces. After parking, take the elevator to the 4th level, and then take the pedestrian bridge across Wick Avenue. Go between the Butler Art Museum and Maag Library and follow the signs to the left.

• Handicap Parking: There are two SMALL handicap parking lots: 121 Lincoln Ave. (Corner of Hazel & Lincoln), and 80 Lincoln Ave (between the planetarium and Jones Hall-look for the Jones Hall sign at the bottom of the drive)

• Street parking/other parking: MAY be available on Lincoln, Phelps, Wood, and Hazel streets. The meters are currently not enforced so parking is free, although university students will often take advantage of those options.  In the evening, the lot behind the Public Library
  (104 East Rayen Ave) is also an option.

• DO NOT PARK IN THE PARKING LOT BEHIND MERCY HEALTH/CHIPOTLE.
