Family day Check capacity

Saturday, Nov. 14, 10 AM–4 PM

Family Day: Spectacular Space

Bruce Museum, 1 Museum Drive

  • families
  • space-curious kids
  • indoor Saturday

A full indoor family day with short planetarium shows, space crafts, picture books, and Greenwich Astronomical Society volunteers.

Plan details
Age fit
The Bruce gives no single age band for the full day. The 25-minute planetarium shows suit children who can sit through a presentation; crafts and picture-book sessions have longer time windows.
Cost / access
The Bruce lists planetarium shows at $5 per person for non-members and members below the Family & Friends tier, free at that tier and above. Museum admission is separate. Each show is capped at 50 and requires registration plus museum admission. The 10:15 AM show was sold out at Friday's check; verify the other times directly.
Arrival
The planetarium is separately timed at 10:15, 10:50, 11:25 AM, 1, and 1:35 PM. Drop-in Crafts are listed 11 AM–1 PM and 2–4 PM. Stories from Space has the same published windows, and Ask an Astronomer is listed 1–4 PM; the organizer does not state drop-in access terms for either of those activities.
Pair with
Check a planetarium time first, then use the published craft, story, or astronomer schedule around it.
Status
10:15 AM planetarium sold out Friday; check other shows and museum admission

Recent Paintings by Gary Calabro — opening reception

Byram Shubert Library Community Room

A two-hour neighborhood reception for Byram artist Gary Calabro, whose show includes familiar Greenwich scenes and remains on view through Dec. 31.

Plan details
Age fit
The Library labels the audience Adult / Everyone and does not list child-specific programming.
Cost / access
The Library listing does not expose a fee or registration requirement. Reopen the organizer page for a status or room change rather than assuming access terms.
Arrival
The reception is listed in the Byram Shubert Library Community Room, with refreshments sponsored by the Friends of the Byram Shubert Library.
Pair with
Use it as a short Byram stop rather than trying to force it into the Bruce family-day schedule.
Status
Recheck the Library listing for room and event status

Quick sort

Need the family plan

Start with the Bruce, but treat planetarium registration and museum admission as separate checks. The 10:15 AM show was sold out Friday.

Greenwich practical note

The Bruce Family Day can fill Saturday on its own once museum admission and a planetarium time are settled. The Byram opening is a separate, shorter neighborhood plan. No Sunday event was sufficiently verified for this edition.

Planning beyond this weekend? Use the Greenwich Monthly Planner for current official links, museum checks, and the next checked dates.
