Laser Light Shows
The Discovery Museum is thrilled to offer laser light shows in the Henry B. duPont III Planetarium. Thanks to a generous gift of laser technology from Donnie Gamsjager and DNR Laboratories, the planetarium presents the science and art of multicolor laser projection and effects timed to the surround-sound music of some of your favorite artists.
Laser shows will be available on select weekends and at special events. Please call for details.
