AJ Read Science Discovery Center and SUNY Oneonta Planetarium Visit (Large group - 31 to 56 people)
Description
Come explore the AJ Read Science Discovery Center and experience a show in the SUNY Oneonta Planetarium! This experience is suitable for groups of 30 to 56 people. We ask that group leaders split parties into two smaller groups and rotate through the SDC and planetarium. This is due to seating capacity in the planetarium. The SDC contains highly interactive exhibits in physics, robotics, earth science, and biology. The planetarium show is relatively customizable to your current curriculum, but generally includes a tour of the night sky and our solar system.
Your trip will have the following schedule:
Arrive just before 10am
10am - 11am - Group 1 - SDC Exploration time, Group 2 - Planetarium
11am - 12pm - Group 1 - Planetarium, Group 2 - SDC Exploration time
12pm - 12:30pm - Lunch.
If your group does not need time to eat lunch on campus, you can depart at 12pm.
