Group Programs

The Exhibit Museum Planetarium offers a variety of engaging programs for students.  Depending on the topic, some programs are presented live and some are pre-recorded with a live portion and question and answer period. Elements of the Michigan Curriculum Framework are addressed in most of our programs. Educators enjoy watching their students interact with the presentation as they ask questions, point, guess, and learn. 

See our FAQ page for more information on selecting the best program for your group.

Length:  Programs average about 45 minutes in length, with the exceptions of Magic Sky and Musical Sky which run 30 minutes each.
