Guidelines for 天文馆 访问s
The San Juan College 天文馆 welcomes interested guests to its show performances. A visit to the planetarium is designed as a learning experience in the science of astronomy. There is no admission charge for planetarium presentations. We do require your cooperation in planning your visits, and these guidelines will be helpful to you:
天文馆 seating is limited to 60 persons. If your group numbers are less than 60, other guests may be allowed to attend your show until the planetarium is at capacity.
The 天文馆 requires any group making a reservation to present a confirmation slip sent by the planetarium to gain admittance into the presentation. Please arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled.
After a reservation is made, the person responsible for the group’s trip will receive a confirmation slip by mail or e-mail (if an address is provided). A printed copy needs to be presented before a group is admitted to the planetarium.
If you do not receive a confirmation slip in a reasonable amount of time, please contact the planetarium director to confirm the reservation.
To ensure the best experience for everyone, please share the following rules with everyone in your group.
- Normal daytime attire is acceptable.
- The planetarium does not allow eating, drinking, chewing gum, and smoking.
- Students must be accompanied by adults who will be responsible for their group’s behavior.
