During our visit to your premises we will take your students on a 25 to 45-minutes journey to discover the world around them. Our sky domes are tremendous hit, whenever we visit any school or compounds the students and attendees will keep talking about them all day… It is something they will remember for the rest of their lives. Keep in mind that our rates are reasonable; our staff is more than friendly; our shows are engaging, educational and entertaining.

The Sky Dome!

We do have two indoor sky domes a 6 and 8 meters in diameter that can be quickly and easily set up in most gymnasiums or other large rooms with a ceiling 4.5 meter high at its lowest point. The domes are easy to set up and take down that has a vertical zippered doorway and handicapped-accessible. The domes are as follows:

The dome requires an area of 7.0m wide by 7.0m long and with around 4.0m ideal height. Ready access to a standard 13amp power socket is also required. The dome can seat up to 30 adults or 35 young children. The dome itself is made of fireproof material and supports easy access for wheelchair users if required. Within the dome there is an elaborate ventilation system to ensure comfort for the audience.

If there are any wheelchair users we should be informed ahead as well if you have a mix of the above audiences then please contact us to discuss. Please note that students/ people must not sit on the inside lip of the dome as this slows evacuation.

The dome has the following features:

• Easy Setup and tear down.
• Zippered doorway that preferred by audiences.
• Quiet fan that can be adjusted from inside the dome.
• Light in weight and small for easy transport, handling, and storage

The Dome requires a large hall (normally a sports hall) of sufficient size, typically, at least 9.0m long x 9.0m wide x 4.25m high. Ready access to a standard 13amp power socket is also required. The dome can seat up to 40 adults or 45 to 50 young children. If there are any wheelchair users we should be informed ahead as well if you have a mix of the above audiences

We are confident that you will be thrilled by the excitement and enchantment this program offers to your students and teachers as well. All presentations are for kids between 4 and up years old with an appropriate academic content. We provide an expert representative with science background to operate the movies and answers any possible questions. Please note that students/ people must not sit on the inside lip of the dome as this slows evacuation.

The mobile planetarium needs the following:

• Suitable indoors location
• A quiet, well-lit and clean environment.
• Flooring needs to be flat, solid, un-raised and clean (dust-free).
• Access to at least one power socket to power the fan, laptop, projector and sound system.
• The area around the dome must be cordoned off from anyone passing by.
• The dome can be quickly evacuated in an emergency.
• Please advise our staff member of the location of the closest fire exits to the dome.
• The packed-up dome is very heavy and is moved by trolley. Ideally there should be level access between the vehicle and the area where the dome will be set up. Please advise if there are any steps or tight corners to negotiate.
