Enjoy the OMNIMAX movie Destiny in Space and end the day with an exciting indoor rocket launch during our Big Science Show!
BIG BANG!
Become a super-star as we cruise through an asteroid belt, discover black holes, eat astronaut ice cream and embark on a mission to outer space. Explore the night sky up close in the STARLAB planetarium and be transported into the Milky Way as you lose yourself in the OMNIMAX movie, Hubble.
