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.
Take a step back in time and experience America’s oldest children’s amusement park, which has maintained all the original rides since the 1920s. At Kiddie Park, you can enjoy the old-fashion Ferris wheel, Flying Saucers, the “Little Dipper,” the famous hand-carved Herschell Spillman Carousel, as well as other classic rides that offer the same experiences that generations of visitors have come to know and love.
