PLANETARIUM SHOW THEMES

Space may be at the heart of WonderDome (and we offer a wide range of space shows tailored to every age group) but it’s only the beginning. Our programme also explores a variety of exciting themes that align with the curriculum, spark curiosity. All designed to reinforce learning objectives, support STEM and cross-curricular outcomes, and deliver engaging experiences that pupils remember long after the show ends.
