Showtimes

FOR AGES 4 TO 8
POLARIS, NEW SHOW STARTING MARCH 1 
James, a travelling penguin from the South Pole, and Vladimir, a funny bear from the North Pole, meet on the Arctic sea ice. The two are amateur astronomers, trying to solve the mystery of why the night is so long at the Earth's poles. In an exciting scientific adventure, they build a spaceship to take a trip around the Earth.

THE SECRETS OF GRAVITY
Why do things fall to the ground rather than floating in the air? Limbradur, a young apprentice magician, is intrigued. He's fascinated by the stars and the mysteries of the universe, so he uses his magic powers to sneak into the Albert Einstein Museum, where he meets ALBYX3, a small, clever but rather quirky robot. The two friends embark on an exciting journey, during which they not only discover the secrets of gravity, but also learn about friendship.

ABOARD SSE-4801
Why is the sky blue? Where do stars go in daytime? To find out, climb aboard SSE-4801 and discover what's hiding in the Solar System, our celestial neighbourhood. Guided by a fun stargazing expert, you'll soar in orbit for an incredible journey between the Sun and Neptune, to explore eight planets, new moons and a mysterious comet. Ready for take-off?

NIGHT SKY, FOR AGES 7 AND UP
Beneath the 360° dome at the Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan, enjoy an immersive experience whisking you through time and space. Stars, planets, the Moon, constellations, legends and the latest astronomy news... there's plenty to surprise and amaze you.

YOUR HEAD IN THE STARS, FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
To add to the already exciting line-up of family fun at the Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan, face-painting sessions will be offered every Saturday and Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The whole family can also enjoy different astronomy-related activities in the new workshop zone set up in the bistro area.
