We go to learn about constellations or planets and end up following some cartoon character around the sky. I have become very skeptical of these shows and read the details of the show very carefully to try and make sure that we get what we are looking for. For the most part, we stay away from the shows they say are geared towards children. They seem to think that children like all that silliness.<br> One of the best plantarium shows we went to with the kids was over at Holcomb Farm Environmental Learning Center. They had an inflatable planetarium and they actually discussed the various constellations and when they could be seen. It was a very intimate gathering and you were encouraged to ask questions.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/100/3652006-06-03T01:46:31ZSursumCorda<p>Thanks. :)</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/100/3642006-06-02T23:27:13ZHarp<p>Your comment about the escaped hamster and falling asleep made me chuckle pretty hard.
