Frequently visitors to Frosty Drew Observatory are surprised to learn that it is a collection of telescopes and associated equipment. Some of these people come with the mistaken idea that the Frosty Drew Observatory is a planetarium. Planetariums contain a special projector which displays an image of the night sky on a domed ceiling. Planetarium sky shows go on rain or shine. The two nearest planetariums are the Cormack Planetarium in Providence at the Roger Williams Park and the Mystic Seaport Planetarium at the Mystic Seaport.
