The Planetarium's family holiday spectacular returns as our new state-of-the-art laser system and Digistar 6 full-dome visualization system combine to create a more colorful and immersive experience than ever before. This show features your favorite holiday songs played back-to-back, from Mariah Carey to Mannheim Steamroller, choreographed with dancing laser light among the stars of the Planetarium sky. Produced at the Strasenburgh Planetarium, it's a Rochester tradition for families, friends, and out-of-town visitors.
