Constellation Show?

So I went to a center or a smithsonian or museum as a kid and i remember being in a huge dome shaped theatre with a huge machine in the middle. There were reclined seats all around the theatre in a complete circle and you looked up at the domed ceiling and it was a huge show of constellations and told the stories of them all and had awesome visual effects...I cannot remember what it was called or what it was because I was a kid when I went. Well basically Im asking if anyone knows what Im talking about because I want to take my fiancee there and watch it with her..I remember there were a lot of space capsules and other stuff there....I went in Georgia but im sure there are some in every state. I live in Daytona Beach Florida now and just want to know if there is anything like that nearby. Thank you in advance for your replies.

    It is called a "Planetarium" that you went to. They are in every major city around the world, & usually in the museum. I went with my granddad when I was just a kid. It was great to just lay back & look up at the night sky & see everything & have it all explained, & even see the night sky of the Northern hemisphere too! As I recall, the show ended with a thunderstorm & lightning.

    If it was in Washington, DC, it was the Einstein Planetarium at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.
