About Donation to the Planetarium
The planetarium at Palomar College is a beautiful new facility built to serve Palomar College and the Community of San Diego. However it is very expensive place to operate. Funds from Proposition M were used to build this state-of-the-art venue, but operational costs come from our weekly revenue. We take great pride in offering a quality educational and entertaining presentation to all visitors to the planetarium while keeping our ticket prices low and affordable - offering many discounts to kids, seniors, military, and students. With the exception of the salary of the Planetarium Director, there is NO additional regular funding provided by the College. As you may know the College is facing one of the most difficult financial times of its 65 year history and additional funding for the planetarium is not possible. The Planetarium must be self-supporting and so relies on revenue from ticket sales and, more importantly, we rely on the generous donations made by the community.
