Summer Nights Program
Experience Summer Nights planetarium and astronomy programs presented by the Land Between The Lakes Association at the Planetarium, located at the Golden Pond Visitor Center. The planetarium is open seven days a week through December.

Summer Nights begins with a stunning planetarium theater presentation starting at 8:00 pm in the 40-foot dome planetarium with a brand new Mediaglobe digital projector. Then enjoy a live viewing of the night sky (weather permitting) through a 16 inch, fork mounted, Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope at the Golden Pond Observatory, where you will experience some of the darkest skies in the area. Members of the West Kentucky Amateur Astronomers club help guide visitors through the night sky.
