Since 1974, the Craigmont Planetarium has provided a view of the night sky unavailable from any Memphis area location.
Our Spitz System 512 star projector can display the night sky from any
earthly location on any date in the past or future, easily displaying
more than 2,600 stars on the 40 foot hemispherical dome.
No matter what the weather, stargazing at Craigmont is always fun and exciting. Craigmont's star theater seats up to 130 and has already served more than a million patrons. The theater boasts 60 special effect projectors and a magnificent stereo sound system. Education is our focus at the Planetarium. With over twenty five years of experience, our educator provides programs of current or seasonal interest including interdisciplinary astronomy programs for the entire community. Our staff easily relates to students of any age and can tailor programs for your group. All of our programs are correlated to the Tennessee Science Content Standards. |
