OSKALOOSA — On July 5th-7th, the Mahaska County Conservation Board is hosting a fascinating way to explore space inside an inflatable done called a digitarium. When you sit inside the dome, you will be able to see planets and stars in a digital format that gives you an incredible experience as we “space travel” together. Viewing times will be held at the Environmental Learning Center from 10:00-11:00 am and 1:00-2:00 pm on July 5th and 6th.  On July 7th, viewing times will be from 1:00-2:00 pm and 6:30-7:30 pm.  Refreshments will be provided as you wait for your turn inside the digitarium.  Before or after your space viewing, you are welcome to tour the exhibits including the life-sized woolly mammoth skeleton.

Parking will be available behind the Environmental Learning Center and you can enter the building through the back door on the lower level. Reservations are not needed. The Environmental Learning Center is located at 2342 Hwy. 92, Oskaloosa, IA 52577.  Please note that the inside of the dome will be dark or have low lighting at times.
