STEM TRAIL prepares for "out of this world" planetarium reopening
"The STEM TRAIL Center is so excited to share our new space with the Omaha community in 2024."
With new furniture and equipment ordered and renovations ongoing, the Mallory Kountze Planetarium is preparing for its 2024 reopening.
A popular Omaha attraction since it opened in 1987, the planetarium historically saw about 10,000 visitors per year through a combination of educational programs for schools and private groups as well as public events. The planetarium, which is located in the Durham Science Center on UNO's Dodge campus, closed down during the COVID-19 pandemic.
