The Morrison Planetarium at the California Academy of Sciences at Golden Gate Park is the largest all-digital planetarium in the world. State-of-the-art projector and software technologies allow the planetarium to produce the most accurate and interactive digital Universe ever created.
The Morrison has a 75-foot diameter projection screen tilted to a 30-degree angle. Thanks to immersive video technology, the dome seems to disappear when imagery is projected onto it, creating an experience more like flying than watching a movie. The experience makes IMAX look like a cheap trick.
The current show is Journey to the Stars. Travel through time and space to experience the dramatic birth, lives and deaths of stars in our cosmos. The show is narrated by Whoopi Goldberg.
It's a little scary for kids under 3, so they are not allowed. Lots of other amazing and cool things to see and do at the Academy of Sciences.
