Grand Rapids Public Museum

Located within the Public Museum, the Roger B. Chaffee Planetarium is named after the Grand Rapids-born astronaut who lost his life in the 1967 Apollo 1 spacecraft fire.  The Planetarium is complete with computerized Digistar and laser projectors, producing multiple video and still images and incredible special effects, accompanied by high-powered digital sound.

Seasonal sky shows and special themed productions educate young and old alike about the stars above and our place in the universe.

Catch classic rock shows – like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Radiohead– with dazzling digital effects in our Laser Light Shows.  Note:  Music contains mature language.
