Launceston Planetarium Shows - Secret of the Cardboard Rocket*

When children build a toy rocket made of cardboard, they find that it can take them on an amazing journey through the Solar System.

Their astronomy book, borrowed from the library, comes alive and tells them more about the exciting things they are seeing including the different planets.

Each Planetarium show is followed by a live tour of the current night sky.

* This show is suitable for young children.

The health and wellbeing of our visitors, employees and volunteers is our priority.
