Life is home to the North’s biggest and best planetarium.
In our planetarium, the skies are darker, the stars are brighter, the planets are so clearly defined, it looks like you could reach out and touch them.
Thanks to the most sophisticated digital technology available, you can:
- Experience the most immersive, absorbing journeys through space and the solar system.
- See stunning space films and visuals that you won’t see anywhere else in the region.
- Experience real-time Live Skies shows where you can find out what’s happening in space right now.
- Zoom through space and land on planets throughout our solar system.
- Journey through the stars and see surfaces of planets and moons in spectacular high definition detail.
- All from the comfiest seats in the North East!
We offer a mix of traditional planetarium shows and creative animated films, including films especially for under 7s. We also have a range of special curriculum-linked planetarium workshops for schools and other groups.
Live planetarium shows led by Life's Science Explainers
Our presenters take you on a tour of Newcastle's night sky in the North's largest planetarium.
But you don't need the budget of a national space agency - our night sky is for everyone. Live Skies helps young or old share our enjoyment of space by finding out a little more about what you see when you look up.
Live Skies shows are held every Saturday and Sunday during term-time at 4.00pm, and on Bank Holidays and every day during school holidays at 5.00pm.
Please note that during term time before 2.00pm the planetarium can be busy with school visits. To avoid disappointment, please call us on the day of your visit.
The planetarium is equipped with an analogue induction loop and has spaces for wheelchairs.
During busy times, we request that you visit the planetarium, Science Theatre and Motion Ride once - this is to allow other visitors to enjoy the experience too. Thanks for your consideration.
