A galactic family adventure at the S-Planetarium Augsburg

With 3-2-1 Liftoff!, a creative children's experience awaits at the S-Planetarium Augsburg, combining science, space travel, and a heartwarming story into an impressive event experience. The show is aimed at children aged 7 and over and takes the audience on the journey of Eddie, the hamster, who discovers a robot from outer space.

A story that sparks curiosity

At the center is Eddie, who lives on a junkyard and suddenly faces a riddle from space. A broken robot turns into an adventure, and technology becomes a playground for imagination. This creates an event atmosphere that instantly draws young visitors into the action, while also playfully imparting knowledge about buoyancy, gravity, and flying.

Planetarium experience with a view of the universe

The S-Planetarium Augsburg is known for its dome-filling projections and the combination of live-hosted starry skies and film presentations. The performance usually lasts 60 to 70 minutes and takes place in the air-conditioned dome hall. Especially pleasant: the view upwards is good from every seat, as there is no free seating choice and wheelchair spaces are also available.

Family-friendly, clearly organized, easily accessible

The planetarium is located in the nature museum in the heart of the city and is easily accessible via several parking garages and public transport. Admission ends promptly with the start of the performance, so arriving on time is worthwhile. This way, there is enough time before the start to absorb the special audience atmosphere already in the foyer.
