The Fleischmann Planetarium and Science Center has been a staple within the Reno community since its inception in 1963. It fosters interest in atmospheric and space science through various outreach efforts, including the annual Sci-On! Film Festival, the Star Walkers Space Club and beyond. The center also offers facility rentals to community groups and individuals for special events, such as birthday parties, wedding receptions, meetings and more. Thanks to gracious donors and the support of the local community, the Planetarium continues to keep its doors open and inspire people of all ages.
The Sponsor a Panel Program offers community members, teachers, families and small businesses the opportunity to play a vital role in the Planetarium’s upcoming transformation. With a $250 donation, supporters can ‘sponsor’ a panel in the new George W. Gillemot Dome and have a name of their choice displayed during the pre-show presentation at every Planetarium showing. Sponsor name examples include “The Smith Family,” “John Doe” or “Mrs. Fields’ 3rd Grade Class.”
The Fleischmann Planetarium and Science Center proudly offers six major donor recognition tiers, each designed to honor and celebrate the generosity of our dedicated corporate supporters. These tiers—ranging from Comet ($2,500) to Galaxy ($100,000+)—offer cumulative benefits, ensuring that each contribution level builds upon the previous one. Become a part of the Planetarium's transformation by supporting the dome theater upgrade and facility renovation efforts.
Based at the iconic Fleischmann Planetarium and Science Center, the Sci-On! Film Festival seeks to recognize, reward and showcase outstanding science and science-fiction films and filmmakers.
