Traveling with small children can mean that you need to find different ways to keep
them occupied when on holiday and if the weather isnt nice and you arent heading to the beach, then you might be searching for some indoor activities to entertain the troops. Although the chance for bad weather is slim in these parts there are a couple of indoor activities in Brisbane that can provide fun for the complete family.
One such activity is the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium and if you have been to the planetarium before or this is your first time going it is a real treat. The planetarium presents many top quality shows including, Cosmic Collisions which is hosted by Robert Redford or the Secret of the Cardboard Rocket a show that is tailored towards presenting the universe to kids. There is always a list of extraordinary shows available.
The planetarium is continually filled with wonderful shows, but there are some other interesting things to see and do, while at the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium. This planetarium delivers a Cosmic Skydome which is hi-def and offers digital imaging in a full dome system and a mini theater where visitors can look at movies relating to space travel and other astronomically themed films as well.
While in the observatory visitors can use telescopes to observe the night time sky. These are most often used during demonstrations that are offered on Saturday evenings. The display zone is another preferred spot of the planetarium, mainly because it allows guests to see pieces of asteroids, model space vehicles, artifacts and even images from the Hubble Telescope.
The Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium is definitely something that you should plan to visit on your upcoming Brisbane holiday. It's an excellent place to take the family or for individuals who would simply like to sit indoors and watch a film or take in some information relating to the universe that we live in. It'll only take a few hours to explore this unique planetarium, however it's well worth the time especially when you encounter some difficult weather and will need a place to take refuge and keep the kids busy. It is very conveniently located, affordable and open daily.
