Mars: The Ultimate Voyage

Your family can explore what it really takes to reach Mars in this immersive planetarium experience. Designed by the Bell Museum in partnership with NASA, this 24-minute animated show dives into the actual research and training programs that are preparing the next generation of astronauts for deep space travel. Along the way, you'll discover how creativity, teamwork, communication, and expertise across many different fields all come together to make ambitious missions possible—and you might just feel inspired to pursue your own STEM interests. This show works well for elementary-age kids and older. The planetarium offers closed captions for the presentation; just let a staff member know when you arrive. Tickets can be purchased through the venue's website, and you'll want to check their current hours before your visit, as they operate on different schedules depending on the day of the week.
