RCC PLANETARIUM SHOWS CANCELLED

Public and Private Shows Will Be Rescheduled

RIVERSIDE, CA, April 3, 2020 — Robert T. Dixon Planetarium is cancelling public and private shows in response to COVID-19 starting 3/20/20. Private shows will have the option for a full refund or reschedule to a later date. Public shows between these dates will be cancelled and offered summer 2020.

RCCD is responding to COVID-19 by moving many classes online by late March 2020 and limiting public gatherings on campus at Riverside City College. The Planetarium is located on campus and hosts shows for the general public and school groups. As a result the Planetarium will also follow by not offering shows at this time.

The Planetarium staff is doing everything to ensure the safety of the general public and children’s school groups that attend the shows. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

This Friday's show "The Christmas Star" is looking like we may sell out! Our doors open at 6:30pm so start lining up early to get a seat. We are still offering private planetarium shows so if you have a large group it might be a better option. Message us here or fill out our form on our website to schedule it. We'll answer any of your questions in the comments too!

Our January 2020 private shows are filling up. Request your show soon! Our system for scheduling shows is easy. Just go to our website and fill in your information. That request goes straight to our Planetarium Director for review and he will contact you asap. If you have any issues please message us here on Facebook.

Plan on visiting the Festival of Lights in Downtown Riverside in December? We're not far and if you can't make it to our public show, then schedule a private one through our website.

UPDATE: We added Dec. 14th to our Christmas Star schedule! Same time at 7pm.

We had our telescope set up during Halloween Town last night to view Jupiter and Saturn! Were you there? Did you stop by to look?

We partnered with the RCC Astronomy Club last night at Halloween Town to host a telescope viewing of Jupiter and Saturn along with Astronomy games for trick or treaters!

Who's going to Halloween Town tonight at RCC? We'll be there with our telescope at 5pm & a show about the moon & eclipses at 7pm. See you there!

Thank you Immanuel Lutheran school for stopping by for a private planetarium show about the solar system today!
