Antarctica Life Below Zero AND Solar System Exploration

Event Information

Byron from the Science Alive Outreach Team will be presenting at the Nano Fest Expo these school holidays (15th - 18th July) — you can find him on the top floor of Meridian Mall.

Step inside the Discovery Dome for TWO incredible immersive experiences designed to spark curiosity and inspire exploration.

Solar System Exploration

Fly through space on an unforgettable guided journey through our Solar System. In this 45-minute interactive experience, tamariki and whānau will explore the eight planets (sorry, Pluto!), travelling from Mercury to Neptune while discovering what makes each planet unique and how they orbit our Sun.

Antarctica Experience

Travel to the coldest place on Earth in this immersive 15-minute 360° adventure. Journey alongside Antarctic researchers by Hägglund, helicopter, snowmachine, and on foot as you explore some of the most remote places in the world. Discover how scientists live, work, and collect data in the coolest place on the planet.
