Important announcement: Planetarium & Observatory closure

The DuPont Planetarium and Bechtel Telescope Observatory will be closed on October 31 and November 7, 2026, due to an unforeseen maintenance issue.

We are currently assessing the situation, and future programming dates are being evaluated. While we hope to resume normal operations as soon as possible, additional closures may be necessary, and we are unable to confirm a reopening date at this time.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve the issue. Please continue to check our website and social media pages for updates regarding future programming and reopening plans.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of the Ruth Patrick Science Education Center.
