Join us at West Chester University’s Mather Planetarium for a tour of the current night sky. Our show will include pointing out several of the prominent constellations visible at night and some of the mythological stories behind them, talking about the Moon, the planets, and the Sun.

The show begins at 9:45am and is approximately 1 hour in length, including time for questions.

Cost: $3 per person

Parking:
There is no free visitor parking on campus. There are three parking garages with hourly parking. There are also meters and kiosks for hourly street parking. The map shows the location of the garages and street parking. Please note that parking is not allowed along most of the borough streets without a permit. Make sure to allow yourself enough time to drive, park, and walk. If you require handicap parking, please let us know.

Striped areas indicate locations of hourly parking. The cost of parking is $1.50/hour. Garages accept credit or debit cards only (no cash). Meters and kiosks take quarters, credit cards, or you can use a parking app. There are some areas of free street parking throughout the borough; read posted signs carefully to avoid getting ticketed or towed.
