    The Downing Planetarium, located on the Fresno State University campus, offers visitors an educational and entertaining experience in astronomy. The planetarium features a state-of-the-art digital projection system that showcases the night sky and various celestial phenomena. Many visitors appreciate the informative and engaging presentations given by the knowledgeable staff, which cover topics ranging from basic astronomy to current space exploration missions. The facility is well-maintained and provides comfortable seating for viewers. While some find the shows captivating and suitable for all ages, others mention that younger children might struggle to stay engaged for the full duration. The planetarium also houses a small exhibit area with space-related displays, which adds value to the visit but isn't extensive. Some visitors note that show times can be limited, so checking the schedule in advance is recommended. Overall, the Downing Planetarium provides a good introduction to astronomy and offers an enjoyable educational outing, particularly for those interested in space science.
