Dinner, a Movie and the Universe

Every Friday and Saturday evening

Join us for Chabot's unique evening social rendezvous. Start your night off with dinner and drinks, then cozy up in the planetarium as you're whisked to the edge of the universe and cap off the evening with telescope viewing featuring breathtaking views of the cosmos. In addition to exploring our exhibits, watching a planetarium and theater show, and looking through the telescopes, guests can now enjoy a bistro-style dinner as part of a unique Chabot experience. Call the box office to purchase general admission tickets and to make a dinner reservation.

**NOTE**
Dinner, Movie & the Universe will be suspended on Saturday, January 30 due to a private event but will resume on Friday, February 5th.

A MOVIE
Chabot features two amazing theaters: a full dome digital planetarium and a giant screen theater. Chabot's planetarium offers prerecorded programs, immersive astronomer led live presentations and the new digital full-dome show, Tales of the Maya Skies. The 70-foot MegaDome giant screen theater features thrilling larger than life films that will take you to the depths of the ocean, on a helicopter flight over Egypt, or to the Triassic Period to roam with the dinosaurs. See our complete show descriptions and show times.

“Admission includes two shows. When you call the box office to purchase tickets, you will select a planetarium and theater show as well as your dinner time.
Lee, Visitor Services
