EmailEnjoy a guided tour of the current night sky in this immersive planetarium dome experience for families! You'll travel to the International Space Station, zoom across the Solar System in the distant future, and handle a famous meteorite from outer space.
You'll see what life is like for astronauts in space, get a close-up look at the technology they use and the experiments they conduct, and you might even spot some shooting stars along the way!
You’ll then be taken on a thrilling ride through the Solar System in the distant future, where you'll see what our neighbouring planets look like and learn about the incredible forces that shape our Universe.
The Family Planetarium Show is the perfect way to spend quality time with your loved ones while also learning about the wonders of the Universe. Aimed at ages 11 and older, it's guaranteed to leave everyone with a sense of wonder and awe!
