Planetarium show
25 minutes
Ages 7+
£2 per person (add-on to admission)

Find out more about some familiar constellations, the planets, how stars are born and how they die.

Our digital planetarium can take you through space for a close-up look at some of nature’s most beautiful sights such as distant galaxies and exploded stars.

  • Age guidance: 7+

    Aimed at ages 7+ but everyone is welcome. Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult.

  • Accessibility

    There is space for one wheelchair. Our planetarium is an enclosed area, but you can leave if you’d like to. During the show, the lights are dimmed. Ear defenders are available on request. Sensory bags are available from the ticket desk (£20 refundable deposit, subject to availability).

  • Tickets

    Please note that every show ticket must be booked in conjunction with a valid admissions ticket. Availability is limited, so the best way to guarantee your space is to book in advance.

Planetarium

  4K projector

Take a journey to a distant world in our 360° planetarium, whether that’s on the other side of our solar system or down in the depths of the ocean.

Depending on the show, it may be led by one of our presenters, or an immersive film to lose yourself in.


Please note that due to the snug size of the planetarium, we are only able to accommodate 1 guest in a wheelchair per show.
