Find out “what’s up” tonight! Explore the planets, constellations, and other celestial events visible in the Carolina night sky.
This show explores the inner workings of Earth’s climate system. With visualizations based on satellite monitoring data and advanced supercomputer simulations, this cutting-edge production follows a trail of energy that flows from the Sun into the interlocking systems that shape our climate: the atmosphere, oceans, and the biosphere. Audiences will ride along on swirling ocean and wind currents, dive into the heart of a monster hurricane, come face-to-face with sharks and gigantic whales, and fly into roiling volcanoes.
When two children embark on a Geology Field Trip, they are thrown into a fantastic voyage where they witness incredible geological wonders and learn the mysterious process that shaped our present-day continents. From roaming the untamed prehistoric wilds to journeying to the center of the Earth, Dinosaur Passage To Pangaea is the perfect educational look at the tectonic forces that forged our world.
With unprecedented realism, Tales of the Maya Skies immerses you in Maya science, art and mythology, using full dome digital technology to transport you back into the ancient world of the Maya. The feature movie is followed by a live star show.

Come join the fun Saturday, April 28th and Sunday, April 29th, 2018 for Holden Beach’s Days at the Docks Festival.
The event began with vendors selling their wares under the Holden Beach Bridge. Started in the 1980s, the Springtime festival called “Days at the Docks” hosts over 50 arts and crafts vendors and a dozen food vendors. The festival starts at 9 am and goes until 5 pm at the Holden Beach Pavilion. The festival is free admission.
Days at the Docks is free to the public with free parking and free live entertainment including some great beach music. For the kids, there will be inflatable rides, huge kites flying overhead and a free children’s area with games and face painting. Walk around the festival or stop by the Pavilion and have a seat to listen to some great bands. For those who love to dance there is plenty of space to shag or line dance.
Around 3:30 pm (depending on the tides), the world famous “Bopple Race” takes place. Buy your “Bopples” from any merchant prior to or at the festival for a dollar. The Holden Beach Mayor and commissioners toss the “Bopples” from the atop the Holden Beach bridge and the currents carry them toward the designated finish line. If your Bopple is first or second to cross the finish line, you win a handsome prize. Bopples will sell for $1.00 each, 6 for $5.00, and a full sheet for $35.00. There will be 3 – $100.00 prizes (you don’t need to be present to win) What’s a “Bopple?” Sorry, you’ll have to attend to find that out.
