Where will your curiosity take you?
Step into Lunar and uncover the mysteries of Earth’s closest neighbour! Guided by our Inspirers, your journey begins with a warm welcome beneath a glowing Moon. Explore how our lunar companion was born from a colossal cosmic collision, discover its sparkling surface, and learn how its gravity shapes life on Earth.
Watch as sunlight transforms the Moon through its phases, and see how eclipses turn it a deep copper red. Then, drift into the calm of The Moon’s Mystical Cloak of Fire and Ice, a story that blends science and wonder, inviting you to imagine life on a world of extremes.
Pause, reflect, and gaze upward.
What does the Moon mean to you?
So what's The Lunar Experience?
The Lunar Experience is included with your ticket — completely free and absolutely unmissable. Step into an out-of-this-world adventure where our expert Lunar Guides bring the Moon to life through captivating stories, stunning visuals, immersive demonstrations and fascinating space facts.
Our Lunar Experience is an intimate, immersive space designed to make you feel closer to the action. You will amongst fellow space explorers not in your group. If you’d prefer a little more space, just let us know — we’ll do our best to find your group a quieter session.
