Dates and Times
Programs may be scheduled Monday–Friday. Dates and times may differ for different shows.
Number of Guests
The Planetarium holds a maximum of 66 people. Larger groups will have to make arrangements for two or more separate shows.
Pricing/Fees
The Clark Planetarium allows private showings for any group. Businesses are charged $100/hour. Head Start programs may use the planetarium free of charge. All other groups are charged based on the number of guests:
| Group Size | Fee |
|---|---|
| 1-10 | $30 |
| 11-20 | $60 |
| 21-30 | $90 |
| 31-40 | $120 |
| 41-50 | $150 |
| 51-66 | $198 |
Because the planetarium only has 66 seats, large groups may need to be divided, and they will be charged for the highest tier plus the cost for the range of remaining guests.
Single checks are preferred. Please make any checks payable to Shawnee State University, and an operator will collect the payment when you come for your show.
Location
The Clark Planetarium is located inside the Advanced Technology Center (ATC 124) on the Shawnee State University campus. Students may be dropped off on the East side of the building and buses may then be parked in the adjoining parking lot. School groups must enter the east door and wait in the lobby by the Aristech Pendulum for seating in the planetarium.

Parking/Drop Off
For now, visitor parking is available in the student parking lots on campus, including to the east side of the Morris University Center. This will change in late August, and we will update this page with the new parking rules at that time.
