The Ball State University Planetarium visit is free of charge. The only cost is the transportation.

The Ball State Planetarium is located in the lower level, southeast corner of the Cooper Science Complex, room CP 90. The Cooper Science Complex is located on Riverside Avenue, about two blocks west of the Teachers College building. (24 on campus map)All visits begin there (even observatory tours).  For more information on Ball State University's parking or maps: http://www.bsu.edu/parking/visitor.html or http://www.bsu.edu/parking/campusma.html

Campus parking is rather limited so please read the following suggestions and consult the campus map.

School busses may unload in front of the Cooper Science Building on Riverside Avenue. The bus can stay there until its passengers return, provided the driver remains with the bus. If the driver wishes to visit the planetarium the bus should be parked in the lot south of Christy Woods (labeled "evening parking" on the map).

Cars and Vans may unload in front of the Cooper Science Building and then park. Possible parking places include city streets, such as along Riverside Avenue north of Christy Woods, and the metered parking lot on University Avenue (next to building 42 on campus map). If your group is coming in multiple vehicles, plan to call Sandy Pyle at Parking Services (765-285-1213) for assistance.
