Stargazing & Laser Shows at Virginia Living Museum
October 11 @ 5:00 pm – 11:00 pm
Stargazing & Laser Shows at Virginia Living Museum
Join Virginia Living Museum after hours for stargazing through high-powered telescopes and an unforgettable lineup of laser light shows in the Abbitt Planetarium. Whether you’re here to explore the constellations or rock out to a sky-synced soundtrack, there’s something for everyone.
Stargazing:
As the sky darkens, our astronomy experts guide you through Virginia’s night sky—spot planets, star clusters, and seasonal constellations from our observation deck.
Telescopes either in Abbitt Observatory or Conservation Garden depending on weather forecast.
These shows require advance registration and a paid ticket.
Perfect for date nights, family adventures, or a unique night out with friends. Tickets are limited—book early for your favorite show.
