Come to the Planetarium for a flight of fancy to explore our planetary
neighbours.
From hot little Mercury, closest planet to the Sun, past cloud-covered
Venus, beautiful blue Earth strong and red Mars we head for the outer
planets.
Through the rocky reaches of the Asteroid Belt beyond Mars, we speed pass
giant Jupiter, Saturn with its beautiful rings, blue-green Uranus and on
to deep blue Neptune, last of the Giant Planets. Beyond lie the icy dwarfs
of the Kuiper Belt - worlds like Pluto and Eris. Fasten your seat belts
for the trip of a lifetime.

Accessibility
All public areas of the Planetarium are accessible to wheelchairs.
Disabled parking bays are available
Toilets
The Planetarium has two easy access toilets, one of which is slightly
larger so as to accommodate carers if this is necessary.
Seating
The seats in the main auditorium are ex-aircraft seats. Those in the
first two rows are set at a slightly reclined angle to provide the best
possible view. They can, however, be tipped forwards to enable easier
access to the rows behind when entering and leaving. The seats in the
back row do not recline. They provide a wide view of
the entire dome area, which some of our visitors prefer. The auditorium
is fully accessible to wheel Chairs.
