Launceston Planetarium Shows - 3, 2, 1 Lift Off!*

Join us in the Launceston Planetarium for the next screening of 3, 2, 1 Lift Off!

3, 2, 1 Lift Off! follows the story of an inquisitive hamster and an unlikely friendship with a robot from outer space who has crash landed on Earth.

The story follows the duo as they work to find a way to re-connect the robot with their family in outer space, and the science required to achieve that.

The story is fun, adventurous and educational, and will offer a brilliant story for visitors looking for a weekend activity, or classrooms looking for their next school excursion.

Following each show we share a viewing of what you'll be able to see in the night sky that same evening. This is a great way to engage viewers with what's happening in space, what you can see here from Earth, and where we fit into the universe.

Each Planetarium show is followed by a live tour of the current night sky.

* This show is friendly for young children.

3, 2, 1 Lift-Off is best suited for our young space explorers. Expect to enjoy playful and age-appropriate explanations about space science through engaging and fun storytelling.

The health and wellbeing of our visitors, employees and volunteers is our priority.
