Really enjoyed the Planetarium show and looking through their telescope . I was able to see Jupiter and Saturn, which really does have rings very cool place to visit.

My son and I went to the observatory on a whim after the launch we planned to watch was scrubbed. Hanging out with the guys in the observatory wasnt loud and spectacular, but they had amazing knowledge to share. Plus, hearing my son say wooooooooow when he looked at Jupiter, Io, and Ganymede through the telescope was about as spectacular as it gets in my book! The attached photo of Jupiter is garbage compared to what it actually looked like. It was taken with my old iPhone against the eyepiece of the scope. Imagine actually being able to tell that its Jupiter, in color with bands visible, in the middle. Other photo is my son looking through the scope.

It was wonderful over the years. At one time, I tried to add a laser-particle levitation experiment, however before we finished setting it up some problems arose concerning royalties and such which was not by the planetarium personnel but among me and my associates. Unfortunately it did not happen. You have a great institution.

Cool to use a real substantial telescope in person. Two knowledgeable great guys explaining what was being shown. Very nice experience especially with my 9 year old son new astronomy fan

This modern facility is tucked-away at the rear (west side) of the campus of Eastern Florida State College in Cocoa. There is a large central lobby, a theatre/planetarium, and an observatory that features one of the largest telescopes (24 reflector) open to the public in the state. Check out the web site (Google EFSC Planetarium and Observatory) to check out what shows theyre doing and the evenings when the observatory is open. The central lobby features astronomical exhibits as well as fun science things like a Foucault pendulum and a pair of acoustic parabolic reflectors that kids enjoy whispering into and being heard across the room at the other reflector. The planetarium is very respectable and comfortable and features pre-recorded shows as well as typical sessions about constellations in the current night sky. Very reasonably priced. I have been to a number of first-class planetariums and was amazed to find this fine one in the Melbourne FL area.

We visited during our Christmas vacation and it was worth it. We enjoyed the presentation they had. Hope to visit again in the future.

A great experience. Went here for the Pink Floyd laser show and although it wasnt what I expected, I had a great time. The show is more of a laser show, with very little stars, which was a bit disappointing. They also play very loud music, so be prepared if youre sensitive to sound, like me. All in all Id this is definitely worth a try if youre a Pink Floyd fan. Just dont expect anything profound.

Awesome place. Very interesting and entertaining.

Very cool place to visit!! The space movie was amazing, kids enjoyed that too.

Loooved the Pink Floyd show!

Closed until further notice to repair damage from irma
