Starlab Is Back at Sands Point Preserve on Sunday

The very popular Starlab, an indoor planetarium, will be back at the Sands Point Preserve on Sunday, Feb. 8 with four daytime sessions – 11 and 11:45 a.m., and 12:45 and 1:30 p.m.

The program is held at the original Guggenheim Estate, where membership helps protect the site’s historic buildings and grounds.

Always a favorite, the event is suited for children ages four and older to learn all about the night sky. While this event takes place indoors, dress for the outdoors to take a self-guided winter walk along the Preserve’s marked trails, weather permitting.

Sunday’s program is just one of many science and nature programs for children and their caregivers to discover the natural world around them as well as a bit of a local history.

Admission is $20 per car, or $10 with annual pass. Please register early, as space is strictly limited at each show.
The 2015 Annual Pass is now available, and benefits – including free admission to the Preserve and many of its events, as well as special discounts – start immediately.

Friends of the Sands Point Preserve is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with the mission to protect and preserve the 216-acre waterfront grounds and historic mansions and to provide a range of cultural arts events and educational programs for families and schools in the Phil Dejana Learning Center and Outdoor Classroom.
