Visitors can use the Cranbrook Observatory, watch Acheson Planetarium programs and explore the museum's permanent exhibits plus the traveling exhibition Artificial Intelligence: Your Mind & The Machine. The planetarium runs a schedule through the evening: Night Sky Treasures at 7:30 pm (galaxies, nebulae and star clusters, with a short AI double feature), the music-and-visuals show Frequency: 199X at 8:30 pm, and Michigan Sky Tonight at 9:30 pm, a live-narrated look at the current sky that sends guests home with a star chart; these are recommended for grade 3 and up. The final 10:30 pm Pink Floyd show is for grade 10 and up and contains explicit lyrics. General admission is $19 for adults, $15 for children 2 to 12 and seniors, and free under 2. Meteor viewing depends on clear skies, so dress warmly for time outside. ## Similar picks in Detroit - [Discovery Days: Turkey and T. rex — Thanksgiving Break at Cranbrook Institute of Science](https://grassyknees.com/detroit/activities/discovery-days-turkey-and-t-rex-thanksgiving-break-at-cranbrook-instit--listing-f9cc7142debaab704aa74054) — Wed, Nov 25 (+3 more dates) · 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM · Cranbrook Institute of Science, Bloomfield Hills · With admission · checked Oct 16.
