On March 20, 1998, the Barlow Planetarium at the UW-Oshkosh Fox Cities Campus opened its doors to the public, becoming the first major planetarium in the state of Wisconsin. Its 48-foot diameter projection dome, seating 98 with four wheelchair-accessible spaces, is powered by Evans and Sutherland Digistar II®, cutting-edge video projection and automation technology. At the time of its opening, the Barlow was considered one of the most advanced planetariums in the country. Today, the Barlow is the second largest and second most attended planetarium in Wisconsin, serving approximately 35,000 visitors annually from Northeast Wisconsin. It also welcomes guests and students from UW-Madison, UW-Milwaukee and UW-Stevens Point, as well as the seven campuses that make up the University of Wisconsin system. Thanks to its commitment to providing an excellent experience for all families and students, the Barlow Planetarium is a Wisconsin favorite.
