EmailA planetarium show just for kids! Children can enjoy a guided tour of the current night sky in this immersive dome experience.
The guided tour of the current night sky is followed by a 360° film about 'Little Star', an average yellow star searching for planets of his own to warm and protect. This is a great way to introduce children aged 6-10 to the magic of space, science, and our Solar System!
Audiences sit on the floor so adults may wish to bring a cushion. All children age 12 and younger must be accompanied by an adult and babies in arms go free.
