Join showman extraordinaire "The Great Schiaparelli" as he takes you on a death-defying space-time adventure within his wondrous Observatorium.

Travel from the sun-scorched surface of Mercury to the icy vastness of Pluto and beyond. Prepare to be subjected to the countless dangers and wonders of our Solar System, on a breathtaking tour that reveals just how precious our home planet really is.

Be warned though, the Observatorium isn’t just for show. It will transport the audience right to the heart of some of the deadliest locations in our slice of the heavens. It’s going to take some fancy flying to get everyone back in one piece!

The Great Solar System Adventure was produced by NSC Creative and narrated by Adam Longworth.

The Dome illuminates our world with stunning clarity and brilliance on its gigantic 40-foot screen. Adventurers of all ages can hike across majestic parks, climb to the top of a skyscraper, embark on an oceanic safari, and travel the cosmos without leaving their seats.
