Demolition will only take a few days. Installation of the new dome will take much longer.

  • What’s Going On?

    On March 10, 1973, the Space Theater at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center opened to the public, featuring America's first IMAX Theater and the first "tilted dome" planetarium in the world.

    On September 4, 2008, the Space Theater "went dark" for an extreme makeover! New seamless dome screen, new sound system, new seats and much more! Renovations are now complete and the theater reopened on December 13, 2008!

    The theater renovation is part of a $20 million capital campaign, "Creating Possibilities, Inspiring Tomorrow."
