School Holidays: Astronaut

The exploration of space is the greatest endeavour that humanity has ever undertaken. What does it take to be part of this incredible journey? What does it take to become an astronaut?

Experience a rocket launch from inside the body of an astronaut. Explore the worlds of inner and outer space from floating around the International Space Station to manoeuvring through microscopic regions of the human body. 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.

Weekday holiday sessions are followed by one of our live science demos - either indoors, or a rocket launch outside if the weather is clear!

Bookings essential. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early for shows. Late entry into the planetarium is not possible once the show has started.

Suitable for 6+, recommended for older kids and adults.

Free for Starlight Explorer passes.
