Barlow Planetarium

The Barlow Planetarium at the University of Wisconsin‐Fox Valley, the first major planetarium in the state of Wisconsin, opened to the public on March 20, 1998.  The 48-foot diameter projection dome with seating for 98 (in addition to 4 wheelchair accessible spaces) is powered by an Evans and Sutherland Digistar II®, cutting-edge video projection and automation technology. Today, the Barlow is the second largest and second most attended planetarium in Wisconsin. The Barlow serves approximately 35,000 visitors annually from Northeast Wisconsin including the communities of seven of the twenty-six UW System campuses.
