The Planetarium is an educational facility managed by and funded through the St.Charles Parish Library. The Planetarium enhances the public's understanding of astronomy and science by offering educational opportunities under our domed, star theater and outside in the community. With our knowledgeable staff and unique tools for visualizing the universe, we hope to encourage further discovery, inspire creativity and foster the pursuit of knowledge among the people of St.Charles Parish and the surrounding areas.
Located just 20 miles west of New Orleans, Louisiana on US 90, the Planetarium is attached to the West Regional branch of the St. Charles Parish Library.
Our planetarium has forty-two, theater-style seats for a comfortable viewing experience. Its digital, star projector creates an immersive portal on our universe. With it, we will show you, your family or your students more than just the stars. We will travel to the planets, back in time and beneath the ocean's surface.
We proudly offer FREE public showing every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The planetarium is also available for group presentations. You can find more information under services section of our page.
