Wow! What a rush. I've seen five planetariums in my time but not like this one. Whoppi's voice was awesome for the task and you felt like you were in space. I agree, the seats are not laid back enough.

My grandson and I went to the presentation at the Hayden Planetarium in April. He was thrilled with the scene "coming from the roof." Whoopi Goldberg is an engaging narrator and the images were spectacular.
