About this adventure

The Kirkpatrick Planetarium at Science Museum Oklahoma transports audiences through the wonders of astronomy beneath its monumental digital projection dome. Families can relax in ergonomic, reclining stadium seating while staff astronomers guide them on interactive live tours across the autumn night sky, identifying prominent constellations, distant galaxies, swirling nebulae, and our neighboring planets. Younger audiences are delighted by kid-friendly animated space expeditions featuring astronaut cartoon guides that break down complex cosmic phenomena like black holes, gravity wells, solar flares, and lunar phases into captivating visual narratives that spark wonder and curiosity in future stargazers and astrophysicists. Stroller Accessibility & Family Amenities: The planetarium entrance is fully accessible via broad, level concourses with gentle slope transitions suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. Due to theater fire safety codes and dark interior conditions, strollers are parked in the spacious, well-lit, designated stroller corral right outside the planetarium dome entrance doors. Parents of toddlers can take advantage of companion family restrooms equipped with touch-free faucets and hygienic, sturdy diaper changing tables directly across the hallway from the planetarium exit. For nursing mothers, the museum's quiet, locked Nursing Mother's Suite is located just around the corner on the first floor, offering glider chairs, charging ports for pumps, and a peaceful environment away from the darkness and booming audio of the dome.
