Amazing family experience
I would highly recommend this experience to families, was informative but not too long. The person on the microphone was great. We all loved it and will be back for a different viewing!

Looking Up
As an adult, this presentation was somewhat interesting but this session was purchased because I thought my 5yo nephew would enjoy it. It was momentarily fascinating but quickly lost his attention as the narration was too factual and focus not 'kid-friendly' enough. We ended up leaving a little early.

Great, but...
We have mixed feelings about our Stardome visit. Great welcome & facilities, and the planetarium show itself was awesome, with an excellent presenter & style - our visit was marred by the young children in the theatre. There were young children, talking, playing & misbehaving throughout the show, which totally distracted. I think the Stardome should have Adults-only shows, or not allow young children. My other feedback would be that the text on the displays is far too small to read, even with glasses, in the darkened environment.
