Welcome

Science Dome is designed to explore science, geology and geography in an interactive way. The Science Dome visits schools and clubs, providing an additional science resource and presenting a different learning experience to children.

We provide a mobile planetarium and natural history shows (rocks/ fossils and dinosaurs) to schools, colleges, youth clubs, scouts groups and playgroups. The service is provided in a blacked-out purpose built mobile dome which can be sited indoors using a school hall.

 

dome

We operate two mobile domes from Bournemouth and from Oxford, covering the whole of the South of England and the Midlands. We also tour the rest of the UK and EIRE on request.

In addition we have a special outside dome for large events and fairs available from late 2009. Click our news item on the following website.

Our domes can cater for a large event up to 60 people with special multimedia equipment and lens to provide a spectacular show for entertainment and education that only a planetarium can provide. 

With the help of a local expert we are now offering 3D pictures in most of our shows. See the power of 3D images to illustrate science and to stimulate young minds. 
See scary dinosaurs in 3D using 3D glasses (provided).

Full Dome Theatre Films

We are excited to be able to add to our programme three full-surround films using our new 360-degree projection system from the USA. These films wrap around and over the viewer on the whole surface of the dome, and are the type of films presented in fixed planetariums in science centres, but we will bring them to your school!
