There are experts on site to answer astronomy questions and stoke your child's curiosity in what lies beyond the earth's atmosphere. Added bonus: telescopes are also for sale at the planetarium which means you can take star-gazing into your own hands. Attend the planetarium's public shows this holiday season and consult the site for its show diary.
