On a family trip to Flint, I did a little research and saw great reviews for the planetarium kids show (Accidental Astronauts), so we went.

I'm glad we did. The staff is friendly, the planetarium was clean and the show was perfect for my 5 year old. Make sure you stay for the roller coaster show after the main feature.... The planetarium is impressive...state of the art facility. We had a group of 48 students and staff. They showed the show "Stars" narrated by Mark Hamil. It was very cool. great, you gotta see it. and its in the cultural center. more than just that to see. easy access, and plenty of parking.

We last visited the Longway Planetarium in Flint, MI when our children (now 38 & 40 yrs old, respectively) were young children. This time we took their children (our grandchildren, ages 8 & 10 yrs old). We weren't sure what to expect; Was it the same? Would it be expensive? Would it use the old "star projector?" It's been years since I had been to the Planetarium so when I went with my 6 year old grandson I wasn't expecting much. Since I had last gone, the Planetarium has spent money to renovate the facility and it looks great (clean and inviting). The seats were very comfortable. Watching my grandson when the dome turned and when the...
