Wondering what to do this school holidays? Stardome can entertain you rain or shine with a fun and educational astronomy show.  For autumn the theme is 'Space Rockets' where we’ll be learning what it takes to be an astronaut and fly into outer space.

The fitting feature planetarium show is ‘Astronaut’ where we take you on an incredible journey into space... and beyond! Experience a rocket launch from inside the body of an astronaut, and discover the perils that lurk in space as the film's test astronaut 'Chad' is subjected to everything that space has to throw at him. After the show, the education team will take you on a guided tour of the night sky and show you how to find the brightest planets.

Children and adults will then get creative with educational arts and crafts activities making a craft rocket, a space plane, and more! Finally, a demonstration of Stardome's famous water and air rocket launching will take place outside in the park (weather permitting).



Show Includes:
Planetarium show ‘Astronaut'
Night sky presentation in the planetarium
Arts & crafts activities in the Space Room making your own model rocket
Model rocket launching demonstration in the park outside (weather permitting)
