As such, all visitors in the planetarium should refrain from any activities that would be disruptive to those around them (or to the presenter). Such activities include talking, yelling, making distracting noises, standing up, or using cell phones or other devices. We reserve the right to remove disruptive patrons from the theater at any time.</p> </div> </div> <div id="moreinfo" class="scrollblock padding--horizontal--50 padding--top--100 mobile-padding--top--75"> <h2>More Information</h2> <div class="margin--top--10"> <p>Hearing assist receivers are available upon request.
