Film Information

🌙 MOST planetarium experience, Mission: Moon.

Travel to the Moon to learn about our nearest neighbor in the solar system. Explore our moon, from historical observations to plans to establish a long-term human presence on the surface. Perfect for all ages, this show explores lunar features and key milestones in our scientific study of the moon (moon rocks, anyone?). Plus, learn about the history of NASA lunar exploration and get a sneak preview of NASA’s Artemis upcoming missions! Planetarium shows are presented live by science educators during most showings.

Animal Kingdom: A Tale of Six Families

Animal Kingdom is a stunning exploration into just what makes our natural world so spectacular. An educational journey from A-Z, the film introduces audiences to animals from all over the world and explores the ways in which we can help to protect them. Across frozen snowy forests, under scorching African Sun, and into the darkest depths of the ocean, learn why animals are the way they are and answer the simple but important questions that form the basis of our knowledge about the animal world.

Call of the Dolphins

Dolphins have long captured the imagination of humans with their intelligence, complex social lives, and playful antics. Call of the Dolphins invites audiences on an unforgettable journey into the fascinating world of wild dolphins, revealing the profound connection we share with these highly intelligent animals. Meet the dedicated researchers uncovering the mysteries of dolphin behavior and follow a team from the IFAW Dolphin Rescue Center as they help give stranded dolphins a second chance.
