This is a one-of-a-kind fulldome planetarium show that captures its audience with a timeless fable of courage, generosity and renewal. The story explores the concept that winter is a time for Earth to rest, waiting for new growth in the spring.
Its star, a young girl born into a family of nomadic storytellers, embarks on a simple quest that leads her to a dragon’s nest. What will she discover there, and how will it help her save her village?
The Longest Night: A Winter's Tale is preceded by a 15-minute tour of the December night sky. Total program is approximately 45 minutes long.
Best For: Children ages 7 and older and their families. Younger children will enjoy much of "The Longest Night" but might become frightened during the lead character's journey through the woods and first encounter with the dragon.
Please note that all audience members must purchase a ticket. For safety reasons, no late seating or re-admittance is allowed.
