Dive into the Dome World of the Planetarium with Polaris 1
The Sparkassen Planetarium Augsburg features an imaginative family show titled Polaris 1: The Space Submarine and the Secret of the Polar Night. The adventure is recommended for ages 7 and up and combines a child-friendly story with a unique experience under the planetarium dome. The show typically lasts 60 to 70 minutes and blends a live-hosted segment with the announced film.
A Journey Between the Arctic, Stars, and Space Travel
The story centers around James, an inquisitive penguin from the South Pole, and Vladimir, a polar bear from the North Pole. Their encounter leads to a tale about friendship, the polar night, and the big questions of the sky. The setting makes the presentation easily accessible for children while creating genuine wonder for adults.
Planetarium Atmosphere with a High Family Factor
