Find out what it takes to be an astronaut! Explore inner and outer space as you experience a rocket launch from an astronaut’s point of view and float around the International Space Station in microgravity.

Saturn’s rings are one of the most beautiful sights in the solar system. Astronomers have known about these rings for over 400 years, yet they still present many questions. In 2004, the Cassini spacecraft reached Saturn and sent back volumes of data. Learn the history of the discovery of Saturn’s rings and explore the mysterious features seen by the Cassini spacecraft. Travel beyond to the outer gaseous planets to learn how their rings systems were discovered.

This cutting-edge production features high-resolution visualizations of cosmic phenomena, working with data generated by supercomputer simulations, to bring the current science of black holes to the screen.

Audiences will be dazzled with striking, immersive animations of the formation of the early universe, star birth and death, the collision of giant galaxies, and a simulated flight to a super-massive black hole lurking at the center of our own Milky Way Galaxy.

Join veteran presenter/storyteller Krissie Kellogg on the second Wednesday of each month as she takes you on a delightful tour of the constellations in the Imaginarium skies. Stay informed as the stars, planets and moon change as they move through space and learn about current events happening in the night sky as well as in space exploration!

Discover our solar system through a new set of eyes – a family from another star system seeking the perfect vacation spot.

Fly over the surface of Pluto, our best known Dwarf Planet. Dive over the ice cliffs of Miranda. Sail through the rings of Saturn. Feel the lightning storms of Jupiter. And walk on the surface of Mars. Which destination would you choose? A solar system journey for space travelers of all ages.

Cosmic collisions are a universal force of nature, both destructive and creative. 

Dynamic and dazzling, they have created many things we take for granted—the glowing Moon, the Sun’s warmth and light, our changing seasons, and waves washing up on a sandy shore. They’ve ended the age of the dinosaurs and changed the very map of the cosmos, reforming galaxies and giving birth to new stars and new worlds. 

Cosmic Collisions provides an stunning view of these catastrophic events that have shaped our world and universe.

Expedition Reef narrated by Tony Award® winner Lea Salonga, will immerse audiences in an undersea adventure. Learn the secrets of the “rainforests of the sea” as you embark on an oceanic safari to the world’s most vibrant — and endangered — marine ecosystems. This fulldome planetarium show provides an up-close look at a part of our planet many people have never experienced. Discover how corals grow and support much of all marine life on Earth, while facing threats from habitat destruction, and overfishing.

Elmo and Big Bird live in the United States and Hu Hu Zhu lives far away in China, but they discovered that they still see the same stars at night! The word for star in Chinese is “xing xing” (pronounced sing sing). How many “xing xing” do you see in this sky?

One World One Sky: Big Bird’s Adventure was made possible by the generous donation of the Iris and Rodney Fukui Family through the Imaginarium’s Adopt-a-Show sponsorship.

Flight Adventurer

This 30-minute multi-media show from the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis introduces children and families to the science, technology, and history of flight. The show features NASA’s research and the advancements that have made space travel possible, along with the important role that models have played in flight development.

Small Pieces of Glass

Four hundred years ago a simple adjustment to a child’s spyglass revealed for the first time an infinite and perplexing universe to our eyes and our imaginations.
