Palomar College Planetarium

Three telescopes were set up to see 3 different planets. Kind of amazing.

DIRECTIONS: rather than go by the street address, instead Google search Palomar College Planetarium then follow the directions and where Google has the precise location pinned. Instead of 1140 W Mission Rd, the planetarium is on COMET CIRCLE, which is a road off of W Mission Rd. Stellar show!!

The 1 hour presentation was live and incredibly interesting. You can tell there's genuine passion and knowledge in the people working at the planetarium. Arrived there 15 minutes before and it was already almost full so if you want to get good seats get there at least 20 minutes before the show starts.

We decided to drive there after dinner and arrived at 7:45 pm (free parking at lot 5). Fortunately, I was able to purchase tickets for
