What: Get ready to launch—no spacesuit required! We’re off to the Julius Jeker Planetarium, where the ceiling turns into a dazzling night sky and stars zoom so close you’ll swear you can grab them. We’ll zip through galaxies, dodge exploding stars (don’t worry, we’ll be fine!), and visit planets up close—all while staying comfy in our seats. Hold on tight… this field trip is going to be out of this world!
