- What is the Mobile Planetarium?
Bring the universe to your school or community with our mobile inflatable planetarium! This immersive learning experience can accommodate up to 25 students at a time and features a library of more than 45 engaging films covering a wide range of STEM topics.
Students can journey through the solar system, dive into Earth sciences, or explore other areas of science and technology through vivid, full-dome visuals. In addition to films, interactive simulation software allows participants to navigate the night sky, travel to distant planets, and see science concepts come to life in an unforgettable way.

Supervision & Student Behavior
To ensure a meaningful and safe experience inside the planetarium, we ask that a staff member or teacher be present to help manage student behavior. The immersive environment can be exciting, but it also requires focus and respectful conduct to maintain the integrity of the program. Your support makes all the difference.
Space Requirements
Our inflatable planetarium requires a minimum ceiling height of 12 feet and a large open area for setup. Gyms are ideal, though we’ve also used stages and oversized classrooms.
Preparation & Noise Considerations
Please dry-mop the space before our arrival to protect the dome. The planetarium amplifies sound rather than blocking it, so exclusive access to the space is essential. Even small groups talking or playing nearby can disrupt the experience inside.
Program Content
We offer over 45 films ranging from under 10 minutes to nearly an hour, often paired with a guided solar system tour using simulation software. If we know what science topics students have recently studied, we can tailor the content to align with their curriculum. Early collaboration ensures the best experience.
Beyond Space
Our programming isn’t limited to astronomy—we also offer content on climate change, ecology, and Earth sciences using rich datasets and animations.
