Corporate Membership

Benefits vary by membership category and include discounted membership for employees to Morehead Planetarium and Science Center, an opportunity to use the facility for an all-day Corporate Day, the eligibility to use Morehead Building event venues for special corporate events and corporate recognition at all public shows for one-year.
