More than 50,000 students and adults visit the planetarium to view educational programs each year. The Chesapeake School Board provided planetary development support as a part of the National Defense Education Act (NDEA). The subjects in these services vary every month and are of an instructional type. They are intended to provide the user with a general summary of astronomy. Reservations are mandatory due to insufficient space, which can be made by contacting Chesapeake Public Schools from 8 am to 4 pm days of the week.
