Erie Planetarium

Let us be your guide to the galaxy!

Opened by the Junior League of Erie in 1959, the Erie Planetarium is located in the carriage house of the Watson-Curtze Mansion.  The planetarium was appropriated to the Erie County Historical Society in 2000, and today features history and science related shows, earth science exhibitions, interactive stations and more.
