McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center

Exhibits and planetarium programming create opportunities for both hands-on learning and observation.

Check current admission, opening days and planetarium times before choosing your visit. The photograph shows the New Hampshire Apollo 17 lunar sample display associated with the center, rather than its exterior. Outdoor activities and observatory programs follow their own schedules and weather conditions. Special events and organized groups may need separate booking, and exhibit availability can change.
