A film that combines curiosity and imagination

The production by Krutart is aimed at children aged 7 years and older, according to the planetarium, and combines adventure, humor, and knowledge in a vivid way. The focus is on buoyancy, gravity, and the question of how rockets, airplanes, and balloons fly. This very mix makes the event experience exciting for families: easily understandable, visually striking, and with a clear learning moment.

Planetarium atmosphere with great educational value

For 3-2-1 Liftoff!, this means a compact, concentrated experience that does not overwhelm younger visitors while fully utilizing the dome. The audience's mood is likely to oscillate between wonder, laughter, and real feelings of discovery. ([s-planetarium.de](https://www.s-planetarium.de/programm/alle-programme/3-2-1-liftoff/))
