Into the Fruit Bowl

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be inside a lemon? This fun show follows a sequence as it introduces four fruits to the dome, looking at their shape and texture, until they open up and you’re immersed inside! This is a great sensory activity and can be paired with bringing real fruit with you on your trip to match feel and smell with sight and sound.

Running Time: 20 minutes

Astronaut George

Astronaut George is a perfect introduction to the planets in our Solar System for pre-school kids. During this full dome show George investigates the best planet to live on and the dangers lurking on the surface of other planets in our Solar System. But will he find any alien friends to play with?
