Ticket Information
How do I purchase tickets for the Cernan Earth and Space Center Planetarium?
- The box office opens 30 minutes before the first public show of the day. For example, the first public show on Saturdays is at 7:00 p.m. so the box office will open at 6:30 p.m.
- Shows occasionally sell out so please avoid the last minute rush. We would hate to have to turn anyone away. Visitors are strongly encouraged to arrive at least 15-20 minutes before the show. This gives you time to park, use the restroom, and browse the Star Store.
- The Cernan Earth and Space Center can be reached from anywhere in the Chicagoland area. Try the Triton College interactive campus map or the written, turn by turn directions. There is plenty of free parking.
- We do not have advance ticket sales or online purchasing at this time.
Do you have a group of ten or more?
