Science Dome UK is a mobile planetarium and science education service that brings immersive, curriculum-aligned experiences directly to schools, community groups, and events across the UK. Utilising inflatable domes equipped with state-of-the-art projection technology, Science Dome offers interactive shows covering topics such as space, dinosaurs, geology, and more.

Our programmes are designed to support the UK National Curriculum across multiple Key Stages:
• EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage): Introducing basic scientific concepts through sensory experiences.
• KS1 & KS2: Covering topics like Earth and space, light and sound, rocks and fossils, and more.
• KS3 & KS4: Delving deeper into subjects such as the solar system, biodiversity, natural selection, and advanced physics concepts.

Pricing varies based on the type of event and duration:
• Schools: Full-day visits (up to five shows) are approximately £580 (excluding VAT). Half-day visits (up to three shows) are around £480 (excluding VAT).
• Outdoor Events: Rates start at £1,200 (excluding VAT and travel costs).

• KS2 Science: Delving into Earth’s movements, the solar system, and rock formations.
• KS3 Science: Understanding gravity, space physics, and biological diversity.

Our content is regularly updated to reflect current educational standards and scientific discoveries.

For indoor domes, we require:
• A clear floor space of at least 6m x 6m with a ceiling height of 3.5m depending on the dome.
