4/12/24 – Day 2 Montgomery – State House, Planetarium, Alabama Wildlife Federation

Two of day 2’s events do have a cost. There is a nice park in front of the Planetarium where we can have another picnic lunch before heading to the Wildlife center which is only 15 minutes away!

10am – Alabama State House – Guided Event

Alabama State House to go on the floor where the House of Reps vote, sit in their seats, and push their buttons. The kids LOVED this last time. Plan to meet in the front at 9:45am to allow time to get through security!

11:30am – W. A. Gayle Planet – Movie – cost $6.50/$7

The Super Mediaglobe II was installed in February of 2014 and is the world’s first full-color single-lens digital planetarium. It projects simulations of the latest information gathered about our universe and presents it with leading-edge digital dome technology. Its 3-D digital planetarium functions simulate not just the earth and sky, but can take audiences to the edge of the known universe. In addition to the simulations of stars, constellations, and planets, SUPER MEDIAGLOBE II projects natural sky phenomenon including lightning, clouds, rain, snow and aurora that can be superimposed on the background sky or an all-sky image or movie. This remarkable ability creates more natural and realistic scenes to immerse and inspire families and students.
