Snow King Mountain Rafferty Activity Center

Daily Schedule

Please enjoy our self-guided exhibits and ask our Guides any questions as you explore. 

When weather permits, a solar telescope will be available at any time upstairs on the Observing Deck. In the Classroom Theater, science and space shows will play whenever a presentation is not taking place in that room.

Watching a planetarium show, listening to a talk (Science On a Sphere or Classroom Theater), and going up to the observing deck is about a 90-minute experience–but you are welcome to stay for the entirety of our daytime operating hours. There are different experiences every hour!
