Is the show suitable for guests who are prone to seizures or motion sickness?
There are no strobe lights used in the production but there are some fast image and light transitions, so we would advise caution for those who suffer from seizures. Equally, while the vast majority of our patrons have an amazing time with no issues, a small minority who are very susceptible to motion sickness find immersive entertainment slightly uncomfortable, so we would advise caution if you fall into this camp.

Is the show suitable for autistic people?
We have found that autistic people LOVE our shows! Please note the venue is dark and there is surround sound. We advise sitting at the end of a row if you think a quick exit might be required. Our on-site staff will assist if you alert them at check-in.

The Penn-Harris-Madison Digital Video Theater & Planetarium, situated within the St. Joseph County in Indiana, has been a cornerstone of educational enrichment in the community since 1980. In 2011 it underwent renovations to become a digital fulldome facility. It was envisioned and developed by Art Klinger, who dedicated over 40 years to teaching and enriching the minds of students and community members alike in the realm of space and science.

Its commitment to education is showcased through its extensive programming and public shows that cover a range of topics from astronomy to cultural histories, making science both accessible and entertaining for all ages.

Beyond its digital shows, the Planetarium is renowned for its air and space museum. It houses an impressive collection of artifacts from the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, NASA, and Klinger and O’Malley’s private collections, including 44 space objects with 13 that have been on the moon, making it a treasure trove for space enthusiasts and historians alike!
