Fleischmann Planetarium and Science Center

Permanently closed. Closed for renovation to regular drop-in programmes from 4 May 2026 until early 2027, per the University of Nevada, Reno. Some pre-booked programmes continue.

The university's full-dome planetarium on North Virginia Street — closed to drop-in visitors for renovation until early 2027.

A full-dome theatre and science centre on the University of Nevada campus, and for decades one of the standard family outings in Reno.

It is currently mid-renovation. The university has closed it to regular drop-in programmes from May 2026 until early 2027, with pre-arranged field trips and selected ticketed programmes continuing in the meantime.

It is listed here because it is listed everywhere else as open, and turning up expecting a show is a wasted trip. Check the university's page before planning around it.
