ROCHESTER, NY—The fantastic stargazing music of Pink Floyd floods the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC) Strasenburgh Planetarium this June. Pink Floyd Laser is featured each Saturday night. Shows begin at 9:30pm and last approximately 50 minutes.

Pink Floyd Laser includes a number of classic songs, including "Money," "Learning to Fly," "Speak To Me/Breathe," "Welcome to the Machine" and "Another Brick in the Wall," among others. The music becomes a multi-sensory experience, as it's combined with brilliant argon and krypton laser light effects that shimmer and dance across the Planetarium's starry sky. Special immersive video effects are included. Audiences lose themselves in an exciting virtual environment, following these colorful light movements that synchronize with the music.

"Saturday Night Laser" shows run all year at the RMSC and change monthly. See the full list of songs on the RMSC website.

Admission is $7 for adults and $6 for seniors, college students, students ages 5–18 and RMSC members. Children under age five are not admitted to "Saturday Night Laser" shows.

Online ticket purchases must be made at least 24 hours prior to the show. Box Office hours vary according to the show schedule. Check online or by calling (585)271-1880.
