Star Party - free star gazing


The Virginia Living Museum offers free star gazing beginning at sunset on the second Saturday of every month. Star gazing is weather dependent.

Also part of the evening are a planetarium program and several laser shows. Shows are $3 for VLM members, $6 for non-members.

The Wild Side Cafe is open during the evening.




Laser Nights


Looking for some Saturday night fun? Start with a planetarium program. Then experience a sensory extravaganza as laser shows provide music to both the eyes and ears every second Saturday of the month. The museum has an incredible state-of-the-art laser system that splashes brilliant high-color LED laser light all across the entire surface of the dome. It’s the most amazing light show you’ve ever seen! Plus, there’s music to suite every taste. Different bands are featured every month.

Cost: Members $3, non-members $6 per show. Double feature members $5, non-members $10. No member vouchers accepted.
