Jackson Hole is opening a new chapter in the realm of science and space exploration as the Snow King Observatory & Planetarium gears up for its grand opening on June 1, 2024. What makes this event even more special is the presence of Bill Nye, a beloved figure in the science community known for making complex scientific concepts accessible and fun.
The afternoon promises to blend humor with intellectual curiosity as Bill Nye, an engineer, comedian, author, and inventor, takes the stage. Guests will have the opportunity to engage with him during a speech followed by a Q&A session, where he’ll delve into some of the world’s most complex challenges and the scientific solutions addressing them.
The grand opening is not just about speeches; it’s a full experience. Your ticket grants you a mesmerizing journey through the cosmos with a star show at the planetarium and exploration of the new facilities. Imagine peering through the 1-meter observatory-class telescope or joining a night sky tour in the planetarium, available as an evening add-on.
While you’re there, don’t miss out on the interactive Science On a Sphere exhibit or the chance to image galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae. And of course, there will be food and beverages to purchase, making it a perfect blend of learning and leisure.
Tickets go on sale on May 3rd at 10 am, priced at $50 for daytime access and an additional $100 for the exclusive night event. Given the limited availability and the unique opportunity to interact with Bill Nye, these tickets are expected to sell out fast. So mark your calendar and prepare to expand your universe at the Snow King Observatory & Planetarium!
