How Much Will My Cosmic Adventures Visit Cost?

Please use the form below to estimate* the cost of your visit. We present lessons of various lengths in our two domes, so simply
  1. Enter the ZIP code of the visit site.
  2. Select which size dome you want Greg to bring to your site (taking into account the number of participants and the available space).
  3. Enter the number of presentations of each length you would like on your visit.
  4. Press "Calculate".
... and we'll do the math for you.

Not sure how long your program should be? Program length can vary to suit your needs and schedule. Twenty minute sessions are suitable for high-traffic events like science fairs or "space nights". Thirty minutes is usually a good starting point for academic groups, but forty five minutes is better, if time and budget allow. Sixty minute sessions are most appropriate for mature, high-interest audiences. Hours beyond the first are pro-rated.
