We need to raise $50,000 by April 1st.

Will you help us? Donate Now!

Calusa is on a short timeline to complete the purchase of the Konica Minolta Media Globe 2.

We have already raised $50,000. We only need $50,000.

The Konica-Minolta Media Globe will take us to new heights! The Media Globe-II
is a video projector that sits in the center of the planetarium theater, covering the entire dome with video images, and giving our visitors immersive educational experiences. Our patrons can feel like they are flying straight into the heart of the Orion Nebula, but they call also feel like they are hovering silently above the Everglades, or swimming alongside manatees. And because we are the only planetarium in Southwest Florida, there is nothing like it between Bradenton
and Fort Lauderdale.

We hope you'll enjoy our new site! It's filled with all the info you need about
the Calusa Nature Center & Planetarium.  So, lace up your boots, grab your binoculars, and get ready to explore the eco place with outer space!
