Stars & Planets
Discover the wonders of stars - their origins and more - in our Stars show. Explore the constellations, hear captivating stories, and journey through a nebula to witness the birth of newborn stars. We'll also delve into our very own star, the sun, and its significance to our planet and the rest of our solar system. This show is perfect for younger audiences.

This captivating show educates a new generation on the incredible obstacles that were overcome, motivating and inspiring them to aspire to become explorers, designers, engineers, thinkers, and dreamers of the future.
Ice Worlds
For generations, scientists have been exploring the delicate balance of ice, water, and life. By studying the ecosystems thriving in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, we can understand how their survival is intertwined with our own. We'll also explore how ice shapes the landscape and natural systems on other planets and moons in our Solar System, expanding our understanding beyond Earth.
