Hummingbird perched on a flower

This program is free of charge! Did you know that when the planetarium hosts free events, on average, over 50% of individuals who reserve a ticket do not attend? Please only reserve tickets if you definitely plan to attend, and cancel your reservation if you know you cannot make it so as many people as possible can enjoy this program.

Stand-by admissions, with no guarantee of seating, will be available on a first-come-first-served basis on the day of a program. Stand-by seating will begin at the published start time of the show, so ticketed customers must arrive on time to ensure their seat is not given away.

Note: All Saturday shows are sold out and the 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. shows on Sunday are sold out.

Costa Rica's motto is Pura Vida, meaning ‘Pure Life,’ and this deceptively small country is bursting with some of the most spectacular wildlife and pristine ecosystems in the world. All this diversity thrives, in part, thanks to one surprising little creature: hummingbirds. Venture across Costa Rica's wild and rugged landscapes, from volcanic peaks to coastal jungle and misty cloud forests, to discover the nation's dazzling diversity of hummingbirds.

This program will last for approximately 60 minutes. Please remember to arrive at the planetarium at least 10 minutes prior to the showtime indicated on your ticket. For more information, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page
