OCC Planetarium

We still have spots left for our next 2 sessions of painting tote bags! Come get creative with us with ocean and Dino theme stencils!

Join us for a fun and creative afternoon at the Aquarium! Guests of all ages are invited to design and paint their own custom tote bag to take home while learning about the fascinating marine life found in our local waters and inside the aquarium.

This hands-on activity is perfect for families, friends, and anyone who loves art and ocean life. Aquarium staff and students will share fun facts about our animals and marine ecosystems throughout each session.

Event Date: Saturday, May 30
Session Times: 12:30 PM, 1:30 PM, and 2:30 PM
Capacity: Limited to 16 participants per session

We had a blast today at the Art and Science Family Foundation at !! We loved teaching families about the Sun, spectroscopy, and gravity. Hopefully we will see you all again next year!

Happy Mother’s Day from the OCC Planetarium 💖✨

Today we celebrate the moms, grandmothers, caregivers, and mother figures who inspire curiosity, encourage exploration, and help us reach for the stars. Thank you for your love, support, and everything you do.

Wishing you a beautiful day filled with love and wonder. 🌌

We had so much fun today at teaching people about the Sun!! There’s still one more day, Sunday 10am-4pm, so come check it out! The event is FREE. Since we’re expecting some rain, the OCC Planetarium will be inside teaching families about spectroscopy and how we know what stars are made of.
