CSN Planetarium

The CSN Planetarium sits on the College of Southern Nevada's Cheyenne campus at 3200 E Cheyenne Ave in North Las Vegas, zip code 89030, and it is one of the few dedicated astronomy venues in the valley. The listing records a full-dome theater with state-of-the-art projection and comfortable seating, which is the format that makes a planetarium show feel different from watching a space documentary at home. The dome wraps the picture around the audience.

Programming falls into four recorded lines. Public shows are the way most families first visit. School group programs serve classes during the academic day. Special events and star talks add depth for kids who get hooked, with star talks in particular giving young astronomy fans access to guided discussion rather than just a show. The listing frames the audience as ages 6 to 18, in brackets of 6 to 12 and 13 to 18, a reasonable fit since dome shows reward an attention span.

Public hours are narrow and weekend-oriented, which is the main planning fact. The listing shows Friday from 5:45 to 9:00 PM and Saturday in two blocks, 3:15 to 4:30 PM and 5:45 to 9:00 PM, with Sunday through Thursday closed to the public. Those windows correspond to show schedules, so check what is playing and reserve rather than arriving mid-block. The listing records a low price band rather than specific ticket prices, and admission details are available through the planetarium's booking site.

The facility is wheelchair accessible per the listing, and it operates year round. Shows are in English.

For North Las Vegas families especially, this is the closest full-dome experience, and the Friday evening slot pairs easily with a family night out. For questions about current shows, school group booking, or special events, call (702) 651-4759. If your child is the kind who asks questions about planets at bedtime, a star talk is the natural next step after a first show.
