The Wetherbee Planetarium and Science Museum will open Saturday and if you go, you’ll find a few new high-tech toys.

Thronateeska Heritage Center Executive Director Tommy Gregors gave FOX 31 News a first look at the completed building Wednesday morning.  Gregors says to better engage visitors they have installed an interactive Promethean board for teachers and students to use as well as a $500,000 high definition planetarium.

Gregors says he wants to double attendance in the coming year.
