As the first planetarium in the Western Hemisphere, the Adler has been connecting people to the universe and each other for more than 90 years. Its award-winning original dome shows transport audiences to celestial locales as near as the surface of Earth’s moon and as distant as the outskirts of the known universe.
The museum typically hosts more than half a million visitors each year and reaches millions more through youth STEAM programs, neighborhood skywatching events, online citizen science, and other outreach efforts. Today, the Adler is bringing our unique approach—scientific exploration rooted in community and connection—to guests from around the world who can enjoy the digital Adler from their own homes, libraries, schools, or offices.
