Wander into the giant silver ball for your very own evening tour of the known universe.

Experience the feeling of the Artemis II mission as we fly through space to land on the moon and discover a view of the Earth like no other.

Our team of inspiring presenters will deliver a different show every time you visit. They'll tell different stories of ancient stargazers, fly you to far away galaxies and show you views from distant and newly discovered planets. 

We'll also take a flight to land on the moon, mirroring the journey of the Artemis II mission and catch a glimpse of how the Earth looked in 1968.

Whether you are an amateur astronomer or completely new to stargazing, you'll be able to escape the everyday and leave inspired to discover the night sky for yourself. You can grab yourself a drink from our bar for added motion sensations and enjoy the exhibits in our space gallery beforehand.

 
  • Fly into space in awe-inspiring 3D for an unforgettable journey around the universe.
  • Meet some iconic characters in the night sky and experience the Mi'kmaq story of Muin the Bear.
  • Discover the history of our relationship with Mars – from a potential home to aliens to a potential home for us.
  • Whizz through time to see dazzling star trails and the constellations 1 million years in the future.
