Scobee Education Center & Planetarium

We went to the Valentine's showing at 8pm and it was amazing... it was sold out but even it was comfortable. The chairs are very comfortable. Michelle was our host and she taught us a lot about different stars and planets. For one the Sun is our biggest planet. She was very informative and patient with our questions. The dome with full of shooting star hearts! So pretty. And I got to even make friends. The parking was right across the street on campus so no walking across busy San Antonio streets and it was free. No doubt I love to go again...

This is a great experience for children and adults. They have different shows at different times even some for adults. Tickets go one sale 30 minutes before the show and you have to be there on person to buy them. Adults $5, Children & teachers with an ID $4. Amazing view of the stares and galaxy. It’s a fun activity to do with or without children especially during the summer when it’s too hot out side.

Awesome experience watched the 3 shows consecutively very knowledgeable staff and they went above beyond my car battery died in the parking lot and one of the gentleman from the staff gave me a jump and another staff lady stopped and offered too at same time just too nice Will definitely come back and try to use the telescope (overcast) :-( but will definitely try again 😉 P.S. Parking is free and next to the planetarium building ReyGzz.

The presenter, who is a professor at San Antonio College, is super knowledgeable, funny, and sweet lady. The experience was amazing! My family was impressed and we had a great time! The show name was Night in San Antonio. Super recommend!

Had a wonderful experience visiting the planetarium. The staff was amazing. This was a family friendly experience. Don’t miss this San Antonio gem. Highly recommend. As a bonus we got to see Saturn 🪐 on telescope set up by the San Antonio Astronomical Association volunteers.
