Planet Vortex- Mobile Planetarium



Planet Vortex brings the Wonders of the Universe to your school in a 360° spectacular immersive experience show. Our planetarium is perfect for students with diverse learning needs and abilities, including those who may have special needs or learning disabilities.

A mobile planetarium is an inflatable dome that brings the night sky to your school. It features a high-definition projection and sound system that creates a 360° immersive experience. Inside, you can explore the stars, planets, galaxies, constellations and much more with stunning visuals and audio .

Why A Mobile Planetarium?

The Show
Our show starts with an spectacular NASA space shuttle take off, followed by the movie "Dinosaurs, a story of survival"

"DINOSAURS a story of survival" is our current roadshow  movie, that  tells the story of Celeste, a girl who joins Moon on a journey through time for an exciting adventure to experience Earth as it was in the very, very distant past and the origin of the dinosaurs.
Witness the fascinating transformations these animals underwent over millions of years, creating giant creatures, armored beasts, and super-predators until the day a cataclysmic impact event caused a mass extinction on Earth.

How it Works!

  • Size of the dome:  height 3,2m - diameter 5,5m
