## About

One Saturday afternoon in November the RVCC Planetarium in Branchburg programs back-to-back shows for its youngest visitors. At 3 pm, Rockin' Rocket Ride asks children to put on their space suits and blast off to the Moon, the Sun and the planets, set to music from Jane Murphy's Journey Into Space. At 4 pm, Lasers for Littles is a sing-along laser concert with songs young children already know, including mr RAY's Kalien the Alien, I Don't Want to Live on the Moon from Sesame Street, The Wiggles' Fruit Salad and Baby Shark. Either show is a gentle first planetarium visit for preschoolers and early-grade kids. Tickets are sold at the door on the day of the show (reservations by phone are recommended), late admission is not allowed, and the two-show price covers both.
