Bring learning to life
The Forestview Planetarium brings learning to life through immersive experiences that transport students beyond the classroom.
Surrounded by a full-dome environment, students observe, visualize, and experience concepts on a larger scale.

Spark curiosity and discovery

Planetarium programs encourage students to ask questions, make observations, and investigate the world around them. Students build on what they already know and bring new questions and discussion back to the classroom.

More than science 

The planetarium isn’t just for science classes. Its dynamic environment enriches learning across a wide range of subjects and grade levels. Students recognize patterns, explore places and events, and connect ideas across disciplines.
Earth systems. Mathematics. History. Geography. Storytelling. Planetarium programs support and enhance state curriculum standards in all subjects. 
With our partnership in planning, you can choose:
•    A standard-aligned lesson
•    A show that complements a lesson
•    More than one session a day 

Helping schools get here 

We want the planetarium experience to be accessible to students throughout our region. With Sourcewell fully funding the planetarium, there is no admission cost. Schools within our central Minnesota service area also receive reimbursement for transportation costs.
