I have never liked planetariums. I always wondered why I would pay to sit in a theater & watch a discovery movie I could have rented from the library & watched at home. Jim changed that. We watched the obligatory discovery movie (which was admittedly cool) & then he showed us the night sky & where to find things, what solar flares looked like & why we are seeing the northern lights recently, etc. You could tell he loved what he did & was passionate about it, and that made all the difference!

Nice folks work there. The theatre smells musky like the carpet is soiled. I'm curious about sanitation between shows. Anyhow, I've seen 3 shows: Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Queen. The laser shows last approximately 45 minutes. The best seats are in the very back, imo. I have a 4 level cervical fusion. Looking up at the dome from the front to center of seating is difficult.

I went in May 2023 to watch the Hypnotica laser show with the music of Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Fatboy slim and others. It was AMAZING!!!!!!! Mesmerizing, awe-inducing, entertaining and mood boosting. ? I recommend this experience to anyone. Clean place, friendly staff. The chairs are old school wood, like the ones they used to have at movie theaters back in the days

Went on a Friday afternoon with my kids to the 3pm show. It was absolutely wonderful! The staff was beyond pleasant and informative. The show was well done and we learned so much about the planets and constellations that would be in the sky tonight.
Highly recommend!

Ingram Planetarium is an awesome piece to the SB community. The facility itself is great (clean, well kept, etc), and they are creative with the shows they offer. We saw an x-mas themed light show and it was a 10/10.

It was a good show. However, it is very small and the seats are not large enough to accommodate all guests. My friend had to sit on the floor.

Extremely disappointed and angered by this facility. I drove with my children for 45 min. to go to a 3p show today. Arrived at exactly 3:02 and the person at the front desk refused to allow us into the auditorium and then told us to have a nice day. Wow...

The facility was fine but we caught a show that consisted of a cartoon about the Mayan culture which wasn’t very interesting. They focused on mythical aspects rather than the factual portion of their astronomical discoveries. If “ Tales of the Maya Sky” is what is playing during your show time, I recommend skipping.

A word of caution to anyone with lung or mold allergy issues… it smells like an old musty cottage in the planetarium and triggered quite an allergic reaction for me. The Beatles Laser show was good but I couldn’t wait until it was over to get out.Not sure if there is an agency that tests air quality in public facilities but it is necessary here. Sorry, can’t return.

We bought a partnered ticket at the Museum of Coastal Carolina. They informed us we could redeem the ticket for a dome planetarium show, or a laser music show. We chose the David Bowie laser concert because our teen daughter is a fan. I was a bit worried it might be too loud and flashy, as I have several sensory sensitivities, but I brought a pair of ear plugs just in case. It was so much fun! Truly one of the highlights of our vacation. We will definitely return for more shows.
