Planetarium for toddlers?

My 15-month-old son is obsessed with stars and the moon. He's constantly pointing and announcing their presence in books and in the night sky, and everywhere else he sees a crescent or a star shape, and always wants me to turn on the little star projector in his room.
Is there a planetarium experience in or near D.C. where I could take him? I'm not concerned about him being afraid of noises in a dark theater, but he will be shouting "STARS!!! MOON!!!" nonstop so it needs to be a venue where that would not be inappropriate. |

| Air & Space Museum has a Big Bird space show (still probably too much for an 18 month old but you could try it.) |

| Rock Creek Nature Center in RCP....when the shutdown ends. |

| If you are willing to make the hike, the MD Science Museum in Baltimore has a planetarium with several shows daily that are geared specifically towards children. The planetarium is included in the price of admission. |

Yes. This is a great place for little kids. Fair warning, though -- the surround projection can make some people nauseous. |

The RCP planetarium wants children to be a bit older but would not object if the baby is not disruptive. They have a special show geared toward younger kids. |

| Guessing the pandemic might play a factor in finding one. |

Buy a home planetarium machine.

Constantly shouting stars and moon is very disruptive. With that said, wait maybe six months for this one and look at the other options now? |

Probably not for OP, since OP was looking in January of 2019. |
