Take part in a dynamic experience as you learn about stars, planets, black holes, and distant galaxies at the Planetarium - The Scobee Education Center at San Antonio College. Every Friday night, the planetarium opens to the public, so they get a chance to stargaze and see digitally-created images of stars, planets, and galaxies fill the night sky. Housed atop the iconic blue Charles E. Cheever, Jr. Star Tower, the Scalan Observatory houses a 10-inch refractor telescope and features a 360-degree rotating dome and panel that opens 90 degrees, enabling stargazing in any direction.

Carved beneath the Texas Hill Country, a world of natural beauty awaits you. Get your comfy shoes, ready your water bottles, set out for a unique adventure, and go forth as you are guided through corridor after corridor of timeless beauty, mystery, and wonder found at Cascade Caverns. The Downunder Tour will take you to a living cavern with millions of glistening drops of pure water falling on spectacular rock formations. Are you brave enough to take on the Adventure Tour? Just like a real cave explorer, you will be given helmets, flashlights, and gloves, as you go spelunking 3-4 hours through the cave systems. Want a little something more? Take up the Evening Flashlight Tour, where you will only be allowed to have flashlights and candles. Who knows, you may end up seeing the blind ghostly salamanders.
