What is “The Dome”?
Featuring enhanced visual realism and spectacular full-dome capabilities, The Dome offers an entirely new sensory experience in the Caryl D. Philips Space Theater at the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery.

In addition to crystal clear images to explore the night sky, The Dome also offers stunning full-dome movie presentations that are perfect for entertaining visitors from 2 – 102.  Incorporating the latest technology, The Dome will also host awe-inspiring 3D movies that bring objects close enough to (almost!) touch.

The Caryl D. Philips Space Theater will close January 23, 2012 for installation, and new shows begin mid-February.

Check back soon for complete details about show times, prices, and schedules.
