Planetariums have wonderful exhibits and activities for youngsters. There are over 1,000 planetariums in the United States, ranging from small ones that hold about 20 people to giant facilities with hundreds of seats. These facilities are particularly useful for children who live in urban areas, where city lights and air pollution obstruct the view of the sky.

Inside a planetarium, your child may be able to:

Use a telescope to view the rings of Saturn;
See details of the "sky" from inside the planetarium's dome; and
Step on scales to learn what she would weigh on the moon or on Mars.
