While we’re fortunate to have Kennedy Space Center only a short drive north, a world of beauty and knowledge may be found in our own backyard.

Hallstrom Planetarium is located in the Brinkley Science Center — Building N on campus maps — of Indian River State College’s Massey Campus, 3209 Virginia Ave., Fort Pierce. Of the 19 planetariums in Florida, it is the only one on the Treasure Coast.
