Launceston Planetarium Shows - Secret of the Cardboard Rocket*

When children build a toy rocket made of cardboard, they find that it can take them on an amazing journey through the Solar System.

Their astronomy book, borrowed from the library, comes alive and tells them more about the exciting things they are seeing including the different planets.

Each Planetarium show is followed by a live tour of the current night sky.

* This show is friendly for young children.

Secret of the Cardboard Rocket is best suited for our young space explorers. Expect to enjoy playful and age-appropriate explanations about space science through engaging and fun storytelling.

The health and wellbeing of our visitors, employees and volunteers is our priority.
