The University of Toledo Ritter Planetarium will present “Santa’s Secret Star,” a Christmas-themed children’s program following reindeer Rudolph as he introduces Santa Claus and his crew to constellations that help them to navigate back to the North Pole, in December.
“Santa’s Secret Star” is an original program produced and recently updated by UToledo’s FullDome Studio, dedicated to producing and distributing full-dome programs that are scientifically accurate, pedagogically appropriate, entertaining and affordable.
This year’s screenings will be dedicated to Alex Mak, the longtime associate director of the planetarium who wrote “Santa’s Secret Star.” Mak passed away in June.
“Santa’s Secret Star” will screen promptly at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and 1 p.m. Saturdays through Dec. 21.
Admission to planetarium shows is $8 for adults and $6 for children, senior citizens and UToledo community members. Children ages 3 and younger are free. Parking is free in Area 1N within 45 minutes of the beginning of planetarium shows.
