Join Explorer Dome at Rutland County Museum for an immersive planetarium journey exploring the Earth, Moon, Sun and stars. Perfect for families, these interactive shows introduce the science behind our place in the universe and provide the ideal build-up to the partial solar eclipse later the same evening.

Every visitor will receive a pair of certified eclipse glasses to take home, ensuring they can observe the eclipse safely after their visit. Advance booking is recommended, and the venue can accommodate visitors with accessibility requirements if notified in advance.
