Wayne State University Planetarium

Tucked inside the historic, castle-like Old Main building on Wayne State's campus, this 60-seat planetarium features a 27-foot dome and a state-of-the-art Spitz SciDome projector.

The move: Head to Old Main on a Friday evening to browse the free Anthropology and Mineral Museums starting at 5:00 PM, then grab seats under the dome at 6:00 PM for a student-led tour of the cosmos.
