The Como Planetarium is a hidden gem in St. Paul. It has a 55-seat planetarium that specializes in educational experiences. They have been in operation since 1975 and are located in Como Elementary School (they are not located in Como Park…nearby…but not in).

Their state-of-the-art system provides the opportunity for visitors to take virtual trips though the solar system, as well as enjoy quality film productions on their 30 ft. diameter screen.
