AstroDome Availability
Over the course of the year, a maximum of 130 days are set aside for AstroDome shows. These days are referred to as "Planetarium Days" and each month has a specific maximum, as indicated in the table located below. Once the monthly maximum has been reached, there will be no more availability during that month. |

The Availability Table located below will quickly show you which months are full, which months are filling up fast, and which months still have plenty of availability. Hopefully this will help you with your planning.
There are only 53 available days remaining in the 2022 - 2023 school year!

In case you were wondering...
January is by far the busiest month, as Grade 6 teachers all across Alberta like to teach the Sky Science Unit when the days are short and the nights are long. For this reason, December and February are also busy months. Spring is the second most popular time of the year to teach the Sky Science Unit and so March and April are quite busy too, but not quite as busy as the winter months.
Last year, May and June were also quite busy, as many teachers wanted to have the AstroDome come visit prior to the Provincial Achievement Exam (PAT) in June. These teachers has already completed the Sky Science Unit, but they wanted to do some Sky Science Review inside the planetarium. The least popular month for the AstroDome is always September, but that is actually a very busy month from an administrative point of view because many teachers will make their booking that month - as they plan out the new school year.
Bookings for July are no longer accepted, as that is a time to relax and catch up on things after the 7-month long busy season, which runs from mid-November to mid-June. August usually fills up with Summer Camp bookings, although with only three "Planetarium Days" available in August, it's not hard to fill the schedule.

If you want the AstroDome to come visit your school in January, you will need to book that prior to Halloween. |
