Although the planetarium was closed, I had one of the best times I've had in a long time. And I was by myself. I've always walked by here without looking in. I've driven by, and just wondered also. There was a person this day who provoke me to go in. She said she was into science and that sparked my scientific background itch. I'm not the biggest astronomer, but somehow I realized i needed to see inside. They have a nice little snack shop and the smell of popcorn was driving me insane. Yummy. However, I walked around instead of eating and saw a store store where you can buy many different things related to space..Yes, there was much more than that. They had small models of the moon landing and also astronaut suits and much more The planetarium itself was being renovated or worked on. But I snuck a peek inside and it looked amazing.. I know, because I've been to two othe planetariums in my lifetime. It's very clean there ( bathrooms included). In that respect I would give them a 9 and 1/2 out of 10. I would recommend this place to anyone. I will go back and probably go again with someone that really enjoys science or having fun. Check this place out/ Call ahead just to make sure the planetarium is open and book a trip there. See you in space my friends. See you on the Oort belt. To infinity and beyond. LOL

Love visiting 'Challenger Learning Center'. Perfect place for kids. Their IMAX theater is awesome. Tickets much cheaper than other theaters. Nice gift shop. Great staff. Will return.

This is a great place with multiple museums related to space science and astronomy, entertainment corridor for meetings, assembly, learning opportunities, imax movie studios, light refreshments, adjacent to this place is huge parking and big restaurants too. Nearby this place there is main public library of the district. Our Sunday visit was calm and peaceful around the busy business hub of the area. Must explore this!

The IMAX experience is top notch! We saw Top Gun and the screen and surround sound made the experience that much better then just any old movie theater. Also the employees were very kind there today. Its a great place to take the family. Would absolutely recommend.. One of the staples to Tallahassee!!

I am so impressed at how friendly the staff was! Everyone was so inviting and it felt as though they were happy you were there. I experienced the IMAX when I went to see Oppenheimer. I was so impressed by the theater! The seats are a faux leather they are not lean back but they were comfortable with adjustable arm rests.

There concessions had Dippin Dots! I have not had Dippin Dots since I was younger and I absolutely had to get some when I was there. The prices were reasonable. The ticket price for a non-student was $12.

I parked in the covered parking garage and walked up the stairs to get to the entrance to the challenger learning center. There is an elevator available for use as well from the parking lot to the top level.

The staff in the planetarium went above & beyond to give my 3 yo a fantastic time. We were the only ones at our showing, and she felt so special and was amazed by the screen. We both learned, too. I highly recommend for an unforgettable parent/child treat!

Had a great time watching a movie tonight! but please for the love of god don’t get their microwaved pretzel. It definitely wasn’t worth the 30 minutes I worked at my $12 an hour job. Lost star for selling something so awful and not refunding it😭 I could have spent that money on a tub of name brand ice cream

Had a very bad experience here: they scheduled a movie and then rented the entire theater to a film festival without any updates to the schedule.
They consequently moved this movie from Sunday to 3pm on Tuesday, when almost nobody can really watch it with or without kids.
