In Expedition: Solar System, the Planetarium is a spaceship, with the presenter being its pilot and the audience its crew! Will you be space tourists on the holiday of a lifetime? Or future scientists scouting out locations for new discoveries?

Personalise the expedition by choosing which question we’ll investigate together on our journey through the Solar System.  

Why are moons not planets?

Where in the Solar System could people live?

What is the strangest world in the Solar System?

Each question will take us on a different path through the Solar System, with multiple destinations to choose from.

Would you like to visit a really big moon, or a moon that’s hiding? A planet of robots, or a volcano world? A world where we might find alien life, or a world where we can fly?

This presenter-led show is fully immersive and interactive, not to be missed!
