Who's ready to explore SPACE! Now don't worry kids, you don't actually have to shoot up in a great big rocket (even though that sounds pretty fun!)
If you visit the Melbourne Planetarium, you can have almost the same experience! You can be part of a simulation of the night sky which is projected across a 16m high dome. It will immerse you in amazing images of the night sky!
The Melbourne Planetarium is located within the Scienceworks Museum in Spotswood. It's a great place for the whole family to be entertained and filled with lots of fun facts on all things space.
There are shows with 30 minutes of astronomical exploration, and each of these shows are followed by a live presentation of the current night sky. Here, you can see some of the major astronomical objects that can be found! Have you ever seen the rings or Saturn, or the craters up close on the moon with your very own eyes?
Kids love these experiences, because they can learn all about the constellations that can be seen, and how to identify them. A great trick to show their friends in future sleepovers!
Always check out what shows are on so you can make sure you catch them all - because they're not all the same! Each show covers a fascinating topic....from uncovering the mysteries of the stars in a fun planetarium show, to following the adventures of Tycho the puppy you wants to not only howl at the moon...but actually visit it!
Space and the night sky are incredible to explore - there is always something new that you will learn and marvel at ....and it's a super fun experience for kids!
Let's go exploring!
