Planetarium Show: "River of Bears"

2:30-3 p.m. Daily, June 1-30

Thomas Planetarium

In-Person Event

Observe Alaska's iconic brown bears as they nurture cubs, fish for salmon, and play in their natural environment. This immersive, full-dome planetarium show plants you in the middle of the McNeil River State Game Sanctuary, where more than 100 brown bears congregate each summer to bulk up for the harsh winter. Learn how the bears' remarkable intelligence and instincts help them survive in the Alaska wilderness. 

Approximately 25 minutes.

In celebration of Juneteenth, admission is free thanks to support from Global Credit Union, Hotel Captain Cook, Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop, MTA Solutions, Moose's Tooth Pub & Pizzeria, Bear Tooth Theatrepub & Grill and Broken Tooth Brewing. 

Free; Tickets required and available at the front desk or planetarium ticket kiosk.
