Learn the secrets of the “rainforests of the sea” as you embark on an oceanic safari
of the world’s most vibrant—and endangered—marine ecosystems.
Along the way, discover how corals grow, feed, reproduce,
and support over 25% of all marine life on Earth—while facing unprecedented threats
from climate change, habitat destruction, and overfishing.
Admission is $8 for adults or $7 for Parkland students,
seniors 62 and older, or children 12 and under.
Tickets can be purchased online or are sold at the door
beginning a half-hour before the show.
Members of the Friends of the Staerkel Planetarium are admitted for free.
