Immerse yourself in the mysteries of the universe this half term holiday as we celebrate the North York Moors Dark Skies Festival with a visit from WonderDome planetarium.
Enter an inflatable planetarium dome to enjoy a captivating 360 degrees film screening. There are three shows to choose between – or if you are a super space fan why not come to both!
We Are Aliens! (All Ages)
We Are Aliens! Allows families, adults and children the opportunity to explore the important questions in the Universe. Are there other civilisations out there? Will we one day connect with them? Or is it just us? In other words, are we alone? Narrated by Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley, Harry Potter)
Forward to the Moon (Most suitable for Age 7+)
Forward! to the Moon takes you on a journey with the Artemis missions, the next step in our exploration of the cosmos, as NASA plans to land the first woman, and first person of colour on the Moon in the next decade. Narrated by Kari Byron (Mythbusters).
Audible Solar System (for SEN Visitors)
SEN planetarium shows are adaptable & versatile meaning all learners can enjoy the immersive experience.
