Kenner Planetarium & Megadome Cinema Late Nite Laser

Inside Kenner's Rivertown Space Science Complex, the planetarium tilts a 50-foot domed screen over 118 stadium seats and throws Late Nite Laser concerts on Friday evenings, with animated lasers choreographed to rock and disco. The same dome runs immersive astronomy shows by day, and the complex includes a life-size NASA International Space Station prototype to walk through. The summer 2026 schedule lists Friday-night laser shows and Saturday star programs.

The move: Grab two reclined seats under the 50-foot dome for a Friday Late Nite Laser show and let the music and lasers wash over you in the dark.

📍 Before you go Late Nite Laser shows run on select Friday evenings (summer 2026 schedule lists July Friday concerts); box office at 2020 Fourth Street, generally open 10:45 AM-3 PM. Confirm the current week's lineup before going.
