Arrival
When you arrive, you can park in the planetarium parking lot. Staff will be available in the parking lot or lobby to give your group instructions.
Lunch
If you're bringing lunch, just collect lunches in a box and drop them off with any staff member. Lunches will be delivered to the picnic pavilion so you don't have to keep track of them. Or, each student can bring their own lunch to the pavilion.
