Saturday Public Sessions at the Adelaide Planetarium

Saturday Public Sessions at the Adelaide Planetarium offer immersive daytime experiences on May 16, 2026, from 11am to 3pm at Building P, Mawson Lakes. Experienced astronomers guide visitors through constellations, the solar system, and the universe's scale, projected on the iconic dome ceiling, featuring movies Tycho Goes to Mars at 11am and The Great Solar System Adventure at 2pm. Beanbag seating is available in limited numbers, best suited for children, with children under 16 required to be accompanied by a paying adult. Children aged 3 and under may attend free on a carer's lap during daytime sessions, though the planetarium notes it is not ideal for those under 4, recommending seating near the door if bringing younger children. Free weekend parking is available nearby.
