Wow, I thought for sure they would have retired it by now. I remember having a birthday party there when I was a kid (90 or 91?) and thinking that it was the coolest thing ever. It made up for them not moving the planetarium from their old location when they moved the museum to Union Terminal, which I (at 9) recall making me really sad.

It has had a digital retrofit (no more giant reels of film paying-out into the projector to watch while in line for the next show) but is otherwise pretty much unchanged.

We took a "behind the scenes" your years ago and got to see the projection dome from the outside. That was pretty freaky.
