The new planetarium at BYU was completed in March of 2005. The facility is used for providing outreach shows for community groups, giving weekend shows for the public, and holding University classes.  

As a service to the community, the BYU Planetarium provides a few outreach shows for school groups, scout groups, youth groups, etc. for a discounted rate of 50 cents per person. These shows are given at regularly scheduled times. The outreach shows are given by reservation only. We are currently not doing shows for groups of less than 20 people, but if you have a group of less than 20 people you can request to be put on a list of small groups that would like a combined show. Please see our schedule for available showtimes.  You can request a reservation by voicemail at (801) 422-5396 or by filling out an online form.  Please include your name; daytime phone number or email address; the type, age, and number of your group; and preferred day of the week and time for the show in your message.  You do not have a reservation until you have received an email confirmation. We recommend requesting reservations at least a week in advance to ensure that your showtime will be available.
