EDUCATION: PRESCHOOL EXPERIENCE
WELCOME TO STARDOME
We want to encourage curious minds as early as possible. A trip to Stardome for preschoolers is not just fun – it also introduces kids to the basics of what’s in the night sky, and encourages independent thinking and exploration.
Our education crew have created session modules based on subject matter. However, sessions are customisable to your learning objectives so don’t hesitate to ask if you want something different.
PRICE
Child/adult/teacher $5 each. Minimum charge $175.00 applies to groups of 35 or fewer.
The total duration of your trip will be 75 minutes. Choose from 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm, or 2pm.
You will find health & safety information, and group guidelines and FAQs here.
