The Barlow Planetarium offers public programming. Children’s Shows are enjoyable for the whole family, especially for ages 8 and younger . Feature Shows are geared for the older student or adult that already has an established interest in astronomy. Family Laser Shows are geared to all ages and feature music, brilliant laser animation and thrilling virtual reality effects.  Each show includes a tour of the current nighttime sky – stars, constellations and planets – as seen from the Fox Valley and Northeast Wisconsin.
