With the Paper Rocket to the Stars
Get in, buckle up, and be amazed: Families can experience a fantastical journey through our solar system at the S-Planetarium Augsburg. The Secret of the Paper Rocket combines children's laughter, joy of knowledge, and an impressive dome experience into shared time full of curiosity.
An adventurous journey through the solar system
Two children build a space rocket from a cardboard box in the garden. With a helpful astronomy book in hand, they begin an exciting journey to the sun, moon, and planets. The route takes them from the searing surface of Mercury through Venus and the valleys of Mars to the cloud towers of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, as well as Uranus, Neptune, and the icy dwarf planet Pluto.
Age-appropriate explanations and lovingly told
The family show is particularly aimed at children from 6 years old and is suitable for students in grades one to three. The child-friendly story ignites interest in astronomy and supports a playful learning experience around planets, space travel, and our solar system.
Planetarium experience with a real starry sky
The presentation combines a live-moderated section about the current night sky with a planetarium film. This creates a varied mix of illustrative knowledge transfer, imaginative storytelling, and fascinating images under the planetarium dome. The public presentation usually lasts between 60 and 70 minutes.
A family outing filled with wonder and learning fun
The planetarium offers a sheltered indoor space for a concentrated and atmospheric family experience. Children discover big questions about the universe while adults enjoy the shared time and the calm, impressive atmosphere. The program creates opportunities for conversation and makes scientific topics tangible in an understandable way.
