You will be surrounded by the cosmos, enchanted by the glittering stars and dancing supernovas. Your problems will suddenly feel irrelevant and you will become one with the universe. Read more

I've come a long way for this place. It was a very memorable and moving experience. The "Dark Universe" show is unique and truly captivating, narrated by the one and only Neil Degrasse Tyson.

Beautiful from the outside, amazing from the inside. Great experience all around. P.s. The seats are way too comfortable. Don't go if you are tired or you will end up sleeping during the show.

Wish the show was longer or they had a different one everyday. I wish they showed all the different episodes of “how the universe works” or planet earth here

The Dark Universe show in the planetarium was fantastic but waaaay too short for the $20+ it is for a ticket. But, if you just buy the show ticket you get into the museum for free.

Nice production value and if you've never been to a planetarium it's worth the $20. If you have general knowledge of the universe you probably won't learn anything new though.

If you are interested in learning about the cosmos and space exploration, this is the place for you! All of the exhibits are great, but my favorite one was the dark universe. Try them all!
Elie HirschfeldFebruary 24, 2016
I love learning about space, so naturally, this is one of my favorite places in the city. The dark universe exhibit was incredible to say the least.

The view is especially spectacular at night. http://hashtagnyu.tumblr.com/post/141255765865/how-to-impress-visitors-at-nyu-central-park

Sit at the back! The seats don't recline, so otherwise your neck will hurt as you crane it to see the show.
Dan SohaydaMarch 20, 2016
Dark Universe was informative and a spectacular presentation. Wish the seats leaned back though. Makes you feel like the speck of galactic dust that we are!
Mel JDecember 23, 2018
It was great, and packed with kids and students. Even though it was summertime. I enjoyed it but think I missed a lot.

Great experience in the planetarium. Great little bit in dark energy and dark force. Must see!
Ritchie MolessoFebruary 17, 2014
For an excellent tour guide at the HP Museum I highly reconmend:"Andrew Epstein". Hes a walking encyclopedia of knowledge.
DDecember 2, 2014
Must check out Dark Universe! Every time you see it, you end up having a different experience! 👍
Tim DengDecember 23, 2018
Take your time to explore! Do the walk down from the theater. & if you can, watch one of the shows
Mad MimiMay 8, 2012
No better way to see the universe :) Turn off any cell phones or bright lights to get the best effect!
Hani EFebruary 12, 2015
The Dark Universe exhibit was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend it.

The IMAX deep space experience was a highlight of my whole NYC trip

Come here for the dark matter show at the space theater.

Sit in the back, the chairs don't lean back. You avoid a stiff neck.
Michael BeckenbachJanuary 1, 2013
If you're checking a coat, give yourself lots of time. It's slower than the ticket line by a factor of two (at least).
John BogannamAugust 4, 2013
Any time you think the world revolves around you, go watch the show and have Whoopi Goldberg explain to you that it doesn't.
Yoanna CapellupoAugust 22, 2014
I've dreamed about this place for years and I'm not disappointed. Absolutely exciting!❤️👏
Garry TanNovember 20, 2018
Wow the new planetarium show with Neil Degrasse Tyson was really great.
Caitlin CAugust 21, 2012
Are you feeling impatient? Was your train a few minutes late today? Go check out the Helibrunn Cosmic Pathway and put things in perspective.
Oliver MMarch 7, 2016
Dark Universe - way too short but really beautiful. Supplement by (re)watching Cosmos.
Carl GriffinDecember 25, 2015
The dark universe show is a highlight.
Dana VillmoreJanuary 12, 2020
Made me feel like a kid again! Can’t beat Neil Degrasse Tyson narrating either
JasonJanuary 24, 2015
Definitely go see the show, runs every 30 minutes

The Hayden Planetarium makes stargazing possible in the middle of New York City.

The Planetarium itself is open after hours on certain days for special events.

The Hayden Sphere blew my mind... go and you'll see what I mean.
Sergio LopezSeptember 22, 2011
haven't been here in a while, but this place is AWESOME!!! It's even cool to look at from outside!

The Willamette Meteorite can be found in the Hayden Planetarium, and was subject to a lawsuit in 1902.
Afi Yellow-DukeJune 23, 2015
Go watch the space show… because you're obviously just there to hear Neil deGrasse Tyson nerd out about stars, right?
Karina O.January 21, 2013
Not as big as I thought it would be. Sit in the back, so you don't hurt your next. Whoopi Goldberg narrates.

There's only one reference to Pluto in the building. See if you can find it.
