New Jersey State Museum Planetarium
Weekends, December 1 - January 5
"Laser Holiday Magic!" is now showing in the Planetarium through January 5. Celebrate the magical holiday season with our most spectacular show ever! New full-spectrum laser beams dance along with dazzling animated laser effects set to popular holiday music such as Winter Wonderland, Frosty the Snowman and many more. Enjoy a unique, festive experience under the stars at New Jersey's largest full-dome planetarium. Suitable for general audiences.
Also new is "Season of Light" which presents an exploration of the astronomical meanings behind seasonal traditions, including the "Star over Bethlehem." Suitable for all ages.
Between Christmas and New Year's, we will be participating in Patriots Week in the Planetarium! All shows (except the laser shows) will feature a live presentation of the sky set to Dec. 25, 1776, the night George Washington crossed the Delaware River. Learn about the sky as it would have appeared that evening!
