The Mayborn Planetarium is a great destination for a scout group working towards completing an astronomy badge or belt. We have several options available and each one includes a show. Each option also requires a minimum of 20 people. Simply choose your option, contact us and we will work with you to arrange all the details.
Options for your scouting troop:
Option One:
Your scouting troop can watch one of our public shows for only $5 per person – a $1 savings off a regular ticket price. You are seated as a group and are greeted with a welcome message on the 60-foot dome screen. Additional coupons and discounts cannot be applied.
**Option Two:
For $7 a person, your troop can enjoy a science lesson that covers some of the requirements for a belt loop or badge. You will work with our staff for 1.5 hours doing a lesson pertaining to the sun or the solar system.
**Option Three:
Your troop can see a show, receive an extended star talk and do a lesson – all of which will cover many of the belt loop/badge requirements. Your troop will spend time with our astronomer and outreach specialist for a two-hour period. This option is done on Saturdays by appointment only from 4-6 p.m. This option requires a minimum of 20 people and costs $10 per person.
**Requires prior planning
