My first planetarium visit ever was to the HR McMillan Planetarium in Vancouver. Love the giant crab sculpture. Which other tourist destination can I visit in this city? |
|
| 2.
Next stop - Seattle. I discover the Willard Smith Planetarium is part of the Pacific Science Centre and is situated underneath one of Seattle's most recognisable structures. What is it? |
|
| 3.
Still further south in San Francisco, I find Morrison Planetarium closed and its 'one of a kind' projector retired forever. I won't be here when the new facility opens, so instead I take a walk in the park outside the old building. Which park am I in? |
|
| 4.
Arizona is the next stop and I visit the Grace Flandreau Planetarium. If I tell you I also visit Kitt Peak Observatory and the Sonora Desert Museum can you tell me which city I am in? |
|

The next state I visit proves very fruitful. I am able to visit Fiske Planetarium on a university campus and Gates Planetarium as part of a Museum of Nature and Science. Still wondering? If I also told you that my third planetarium was attached to the United States Air Force Academy can you guess which state I'm in? |

Next stop Chicago and the Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum - "the first planetarium built in the Western Hemisphere". There are two planetarium theatres and an observatory as well. I enjoy my visit very much and am inspired to find even more educational stimulation - where else can I go to discover and learn in the "Windy City"? |

On to Buffalo and the Whitworth Ferguson Planetarium. It is a school day so my visit is noisy but enjoyable. When I am finished I treat myself to one of the most important tourist destinations in this region. Niagara Falls. I discover the American Falls were stopped completely in 1969 for several months. Why? |
|
| 8.
Rochester is my next port of call. Strasenburgh Planetarium is part of the Rochester Museum and Science Centre. After a morning of playing with all the hands on exhibits, I opt for yet another Pink Floyd laser show. When I venture out, I discover an amazing house on East Avenue that belonged to a pioneer in which industry? |
|
| 9.
With my trip nearly over I head for Boston and the Charles Hayden Planetarium. I simply can't sleep in this theatre as there is an Audience Response System which lets me interact with the planetarium program. Amazing. I have also promised relatives that when in Boston I would take time to buy them merchandise at the Coop. Who established the Coop? |
|
| 10.
Philadelphia - the city of brotherly love. Fels Planetarium is absolutely my last port of call before heading home. It is part of a large Institute that is named after which great American? |
