TULSA, Okla. - May 17, 2020 - PRLog -- The Tulsa Air and Space Museum's Bertelsmeyer Planetarium will reopen Wednesday, May 20^th, 2020.

These changes include allowing admission by appointment only through online sales, spacing three planetarium shows throughout the day at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm to allow for thorough cleaning between shows, and temporarily closing the main museum exhibit hall to ensure social distancing guidelines are followed.  Guests will also be seated with adequate social distancing spacing for increased safety.
