Schisler Museum and McMunn Planetarium Sets Fall Hours

The Schisler Museum of Wildlife & Natural History and McMunn Planetarium at East Stroudsburg University has set its fall hours. The facility is open to the public on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. The facility is reserved for pre-registered group visits on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Both the museum and planetarium are included in a single admission price.

Housed in the Warren E. ’55 and Sandra Hoeffner Science and Technology Center, the state-of-the-art planetarium and world-class museum offer something for everyone. Nearly all of the museum’s 130-plus taxidermy exhibits were collected and donated by East Stroudsburg University alumni Arthur ’62 and Fannie Greene ’62 Schisler. The museum also boasts a 300-gallon aquarium and insects from around the globe. The McMunn Planetarium is named in honor of ESU supporters and alumni Charles A. “Tony” ’69 and Patricia Lythgoe ’68 McMunn.

“The museum and planetarium are truly meant to be a place of excitement for explorers of all ages. We want to invite the community to experience the wonder of discovery at ESU,” said Catherine Klingler, curator.

Admission for the museum and planetarium is $6 for adults; $4 for senior citizens and children ages 3-17; and free for children 2 and under and ESU students with ID. For membership inquiries visit esu.edu/museum. Anyone interested in museum and planetarium activities may contact Klingler at smcurator@esu.edu or 570-422-2705.
