About

A show that provides a fascinating look at space history from the launch of the first artificial satellite in 1957 to the construction of the International Space Station and beyond.

Experience the launch of the first artificial satellite Sputnik, to the magnificent lunar landings and privately operated space flights.

Be immersed and overwhelmed with this most accurate historic reconstruction of Man’s first steps into space.

Who were these Men and Women that took part in these death defying endeavours? Witness their drive, their passion, and their perseverance to explore, in Dawn of the Space Age.

The show includes the exciting first footsteps on the Moon and the development of huge space stations.

Each Planetarium show is followed by a live tour of the current night sky.

The health and wellbeing of our visitors, employees and volunteers is our priority.
