Mars: The Ultimate Voyage

Your family can explore what it takes to reach Mars through this engaging planetarium show. The 24-minute presentation uses dynamic animation and real NASA research to showcase the missions and technologies being developed to get astronauts to the Red Planet. You'll discover how teamwork across many different fields—from engineering to communication to creative problem-solving—makes space exploration possible. This show is especially great for elementary-aged kids and up who are curious about science and space. The experience highlights how today's innovations are preparing the next generation of explorers and STEM professionals. Closed captions are available upon request, so just let a staff member know when you arrive at the planetarium. You can purchase tickets online before your visit, and the venue offers extended evening hours on summer Fridays if that works better for your schedule. It's a wonderful way to spark your kids' imagination about what's possible in space and science.
