As part of your visit to Spaceport, you can become a virtual astronaut in our incredible 360 degree, fully immersive Space Dome Show, where our latest show OASIS IN SPACE is showing. Here your class will embark on an exploration of our solar system; looking at whether life could be sustained on other planets.
A visit to Spaceport typically takes at least two hours, of which approximately 30 minutes is spent in our dome theatre show.
