Science Dome

Science Dome is designed to explore science, geology and geography in an interactive way. During a day a full range of science subjects can be covered such as Volcanoes, Rocks & Fossils, Dinosaurs, Space Exploration, The Solar System, Weather, Materials, Pirates & the Sea, Under the Sea, Natural Selection, and Fractal Maths.

We provide a fully digital mobile planetarium and natural history shows to schools, colleges, youth clubs, scouts groups and playgroups. All our shows are 100% presenter led and include amazing true 360 degree visuals and full surround landscaped planetarium.

We operate eleven mobile digital domes from our bases in Bournemouth, Poole, Boscombe, London, Frome (Somerset), Glastonbury, Leeds, Tyneside, Warrington and Newark in Lincs. We cover the whole of the UK and are the biggest portable pop-up planetarium and science dome business in the country.
