Bring the Universe to your School

Our standard high-def planetarium experience provides an engaging and curriculum-linked journey through Earth in space, the Solar System, and the constellations. Students visit the International Space Station and observe how the Moon, satellites, and rockets move in relation to our planet. Using the immersive 360° dome, we demonstrate the phases of the Moon, explain the scientific reasons for the seasons, and bring difficult concepts to life through interactive visualisation. To reinforce key physics topics, children can even take part in a safe, virtual rollercoaster ride that illustrates forces such as inertia, gravity, and centripetal acceleration-making abstract ideas both memorable and exciting to learn.

Journey Back in Time in our 360° Theatres

Take your students on an unforgettable trip back through time, exploring the evolutionary link between feathered dinosaurs and today's birds. They can also join Charles Darwin on his groundbreaking voyage to the Galapagos Islands, uncovering first-hand how species adapt, evolve, and change over generations. Our domes help bring key science and biology topics to life, supporting classroom discussions on evolution, adaptation, and the history of life on Earth.

Bring modern history vividly to life too with the two World Wars in 360°. Sensitive to younger audiences, these fulldome shows suggest - but never graphically depict - the realities of WWI and WWII, making them appropriate for pupils in upper KS2 and older. Each session includes a live, guided journey back in time, using the planetarium to reveal the night sky exactly as it would have appeared during key historical moments (for example, the Battle of the Somme or The Blitz). This powerful blend of history and astronomy enriches pupils' understanding and deepens their connection to the events studied in class.

Immerse Your Students in the Environment

Why are rising CO² levels a concern today, when natural sources like volcanoes and oceans have always produced it? Hasn't Earth experienced hot and cold cycles before? Our 360° dome show helps students tackle these vital questions, exploring the science behind climate change with striking visualisations from satellite data and supercomputer simulations. A captivating film reveals how energy from the Sun flows through the atmosphere, oceans, and biosphere - setting the stage for guided discussion and deeper understanding of the climate emergency.

Alternatively, take younger students on a virtual dive to Glover's Reef Research Station in Belize, exploring the rich biodiversity of coral reef ecosystems. Along the way, they'll discover the excitement and challenges of wildlife photography while developing a deeper understanding of the fragile balance that sustains our oceans and the life within them.
