This man-made Universe will take you places you have never been before, from the surface of the Moon to the depth of outer space in our NEW ASTRODOME 360 STAR-THEATRE. We run traditionally Planetarium shows using new Digital technology.
Before or after the show, make sure you leave time to explore the various space-science displays, space art and computer simulations in the exhibition area. There is a permanent exhibition dedicated to the work of the great scientist/inventor Robert Hooke, born in Freshwater in 1635.

Why don't you follow us on Facebook, ask us questions and see what is going on during the year at the Planetarium.
