1305.0. "McAuliffe Planetarium" by NOVA::WASSERMAN (Deb Wasserman, DTN 264-1863) Wed Feb 05 1992 13:40

    Has anyone ever been to the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium?  What age
    kids is it appropriate for?  I used to love going to the Hayden 
    Planetarium in New York when I was a kid.  Could a 2-year-old get
    anything out of it?

    I don't think a two year old could get anything out of the CMP at all. 
    Unless you consider a 55minute nap worthwhile. ;-)
    
    The programs are designed for school kids, my guess is about second or
    third grade minimum to begin to understand.   
    
    It is fun and interesting but its way beyond a 2 yr old.

    It's definitely not for a 2 year old.  Even for younger school aged
    kids, if you live near there or you're going to be in the area, fine. 
    But if you don't live near there or you're not going to be in the area,
    then it's a long way to go for a < 1 hour show.  There is nothing else
    to do there.  No museum, nothing.  You go into the show then you leave
    when it's over.  The show itself is great, but I would never travel
    that sistance again JUST for that!
