Lambuth planetarium provides educational fun for spring break

JACKSON, Tenn. — It’s spring break for most of the Hub City, and the University of Memphis Lambuth Campus has something special for students in grades K-12. The best part is that it is free, fun and educational.

Lambuth’s M.D. Anderson Planetarium began its special schedule of kids shows Monday. Vice Provost of Lambuth Niles Reddick tells WBBJ 7 Eyewitness News why this is important to our community.

“There’s a lot of students in Jackson and Madison County who don’t have the means for entertainment of that nature that’s both educational and low cost or free, and so we want to be able to help those students get an educational experience,” Reddick said.

The shows will run through 10:30 a.m. Friday with a different show at 2:30 p.m. Doors open 15 minutes before showtime.
