The Discovery Center's Adventure Club (ages 9-14) has done some amazing things so far this summer- paddled a 26 ft war canoe on the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage, climbed the world's largest ski jump, explored the Porcupine Mountains- but next week's trip is sure to be the most unique.
In Monico, Wisconsin, a man named Frank Kovac dedicated ten years of his life to building a planetarium in his backyard. Not just any planetarium, but the world's only mechanically rotating planetarium.
He hand-painted all of the northern hemisphere stars visible to the unaided eye within his 22 foot diameter globe!
I'm incredibly excited to visit the Kovac Planetarium and meet this dedicated man. www.kovacplanetarium.com has the full story.
We still have spots available for this Adventure Club trip! Other activities planned for the day include swimming and geocaching.
Contact the Discovery Center (715-543-2085, or www.DiscoveryCenter.net) to reserve a place!
