“Leave the younger siblings at home, as this show is strictly for ages 9 and up.”
Morehead Planetarium & Science Center's Carolina Skies is a live, guided presentation that teaches visitors how to identify stars, constellations, and planets visible in the North Carolina night sky. The planetarium educators lead you through the current celestial lineup, making it easy to spot these features from your own backyard. This specific program is designed for adults and children ages nine and older, so you will want to leave the toddlers and preschoolers at home for this one. Admission is free, which makes it an affordable educational outing. For parking, use the paid lot directly in front of the planetarium on Franklin Street, or look for street parking nearby. It is a smart weekend pick because it offers a calm, educational indoor activity to wind down your Friday afternoon. Your older kids will leave with practical stargazing skills they can use at home that very night.
