A fun and immersive solar system adventure for families.

Join The Great Schiaparelli for a fun and fast-paced space adventure inside his magical Observatorium. Travel from the scorching surface of Mercury to the icy edges of Pluto, discovering the wonders and dangers of our solar system while being reminded how rare and precious Earth truly is.

The Observatorium is not just for show. It transports audiences into some of the most extreme environments in our celestial neighbourhood, and it will take skill and quick thinking to make it back safely.

The experience concludes with an immersive full-dome night-sky presentation.
Total duration: 50 minutes.
