Reopen Update: Onsite Member Benefits
Effective immediately, all members can enjoy discounts at the Café at the End of the Universe and the Stellar Emporium as well as the following benefits for shows in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium:
- No standing in line. Instead of waiting in line at the ticket booth with the general public, Foundation members can purchase Samuel Oschin Planetarium tickets at the Center of Gravity desk. To ensure you get the ticket of your choice, please check the website to see when your desired tickets go on sale.
- Discount tickets. Members also enjoy a discounted rate on regularly priced adult tickets.
- Priority Seating. Once you have tickets in hand, proceed to the South Gallery. You can wait on the benches there and you will be invited to take your seats before the public is admitted, usually about 20 minutes in advance of showtime
