does anyone know where to park for the planetarium?

I found this on a website:

PLANETARIUM LOCATION: The Planetarium is inside the Chemistry & Physics Building on the south side of the UTA Campus. The street address is 700 Planetarium Place, but you can’t park directly to the front of the building. There are parking meters along the street on the southside of campus, but it’s hard to find a spot on the weekdays when school is in-session. It’s easiest to pay to park in the parking garage off West Street. The parking garage averages about $2 per hour. By the time we watched the show and walked around the campus a little bit, it cost us $4 to park. The parking garage is well-marked, so just follow the signs once you turn east off of Cooper Street.

The UTA Planetarium website says that they offer a $1/hr discount on parking in the garage if you show your ticket stub.

We're planning on getting there around 1:45. Hopefully that will be enough time. See you there!

Here's the link to the directions/parking page of the Planetarium site, if you need it.
