Mobile Planetarium
Mobile Planetarium provides a platform for unique learning experience brought to your school or organisation. From the outside, it looks like an impressively large dome which is filled with air from a strong fan. It is lightweight and can be transported to schools, church halls or other large areas where it is inflated. Inside the dome, there is specialised visual and audio equipment which projects onto the inside of the planetarium giving a 360-degree experience which is totally immersive. The environment created by the dome is completely dark and immerses the visitor into a wonderful experience of the universe! Ecoskool Planetarium is an inflatable planetarium. There are also fixed planetariums which can be found at places such as museums and other specialised locations.
