Planetarium at OSC
The Okanagan Science Centre has the only fixed roof planetarium in the Okanagan. Join OSC Scientists every Saturday and Sunday* for a planetarium show in our fixed roof dome! During the planetarium show, we will look up at the stars in our night sky and we may talk about different galaxies, planets, and more!
Showtimes are subject to change without notice due to staffing. Always check our planetarium showtimes for the most up-to-date information. Pre-registration for planetarium shows is preferred, but walk-ins are welcome. The cost of the planetarium show is including in general admission. Members are free.
Please note that the planetarium is located on the second floor of our heritage building and there is no elevator access to the second floor. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC)
The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) began as the Toronto Astronomical Club on December 1, 1868. The eight men who gathered to share their interest were not professional astronomers, just working-class citizens with a passion for astronomy.
RASC invites you to observe the night sky with us. You may wish to attend a Star Party, visit a Dark Sky Preserve, learn about astrophotography, search for comets or prepare for the next eclipse. RASC centres host free astronomy activities for the public and volunteers willingly share their experience and knowledge with others, especially newcomers.
Join as a member to receive additional benefits, including our Observer's Handbook, Journal, and invitations to events. The RASC wants everyone to enjoy astronomy – please contact the local chapter and find out what’s offered in our community!
