Astrodome has been helping children learn about the solar system and universe since 1992. We regularly update our shows and children of all ages enjoy learning about where we live using our unique domes.
The only school requirement is a downstairs hall or large classroom with a clean surface.
Standard Dome (holds one class) – 21ft x 18ft (6.6m x 5.5m) and height of not less than 11ft (3.2m).
Super Dome (holds two classes) – 21ft x 21ft (6.4m x 6.4m) and height of not less than 13ft (4.0m).
Go-Dome (7.0m) – used for special events.
All need a standard nearby power supply and a parking space for a Ford Transit Van. Please note our domes cannot be set up outside!
