Sometimes, science and nature can put on a better show than any Hollywood movie. That is always the case at the Fleishmann Planetarium and Science Center at the University of Nevada in Reno. Through the technology of wide-screen film presentations, you can experience what it feels like to be caught in a hurricane on the bayou, go on a cosmic safari through the solar system and even brave the mysteries of the Nile. There's always a full schedule of exhibits and special presentations, and the kids will love the multidimensional, interactive activities. And don't forget, the planetarium is open until 9 so you can get up close to the planets and the stars through the high-powered telescopes that are housed in this showcase of natural, interplanetary wonder. If you crave and appreciate knowledge of planet Earth, this is the attraction for you.
