Clark Planetarium, Science center and planetarium in Downtown Salt Lake City, United States.
Clark Planetarium is a three-story science center in downtown Salt Lake City featuring exhibits about space exploration and astronomy. Visitors explore interactive displays and presentations that explain celestial objects and scientific discoveries.
The planetarium opened in 2003 and quickly became a key educational venue in Salt Lake City. The Hansen Dome Theatre was added to the facility, allowing for larger-scale astronomical presentations to audiences.
The planetarium draws families and school groups who gather to learn about space together in its welcoming spaces. Visitors of all ages move through the halls at their own pace, making discoveries alongside one another.
Admission to the exhibit halls is free, but the theatrical presentations in the dome theaters require separate tickets. Plan time to explore the displays and check showtimes in advance for a better visit.
The facility contains hands-on activity spaces spanning about 10,000 square feet where visitors can conduct practical experiments. One of the largest science-focused gift shops in Utah is located on-site, offering a wide range of educational materials and keepsakes.
