How about some preview videos??

Hi Joel, sorry for the delay in replying to you. Our staff at the Planetarium have said it’s always been the plan to include preview clips - or trailers - of the planetarium shows on our website. At the moment they are not sure when this will commence.

I will enjoy this as well as my grandchildren.

Our kindergarten has been visiting the tycho to the moon show at the planetarium for a long time. i think that the tycho to the moon song should be available to down load on the internet.....and why has'nt someone put a book together about tycho (story book) for children.

I think that the movie Tycho to the moon was a really good movie and I would love to see it again, my cousins really enjoyed I too.

the planetaruim is great

Just booked tickets to Science works and the service was very good and friendly. Looking forward to taking the family there tomorrow. Can't remember the name of the girl I talked to but it was 4:00pm on Saturday the 3rd of September.

i think the movie was great i would see it again

How about making it clear what times the sessions for the are. I am going round and round your site looking for session times. This should be made more clear for people who traveling from the country.......

Hi Eric, sorry you had difficulty. Without knowing what links you clicked on, generally, as with this example, the times are on the event page under the heading 'Event details'. These are quickly accessible from the 'What's on' menu/button on the home page. If you'd like to provide us with further information via Discovery Centre about how you found it troublesome to locate we'd appreciate the feedback to help improve our website.

How disappointing I just found out about Tycho, my kids would have LOVED this, but it finishes this weekend. I was hoping it would be on for the school holidays.

Hi, I know this is for kids between 3 to 8 years old, but Is there any problem if I take my two year olds daughter? I mean, Do you let us see the show?

Hi Susana, The age range is just a guide – the show was produced for three to eight year olds, but all children (and adults) enjoy it. You are most welcome to take your two year old to the show (she'll love it). We hope you enjoy your visit to Scienceworks and the Melbourne Planetarium.

Is this a permanent exhibition and you have only confirmed session dates til 24 June, or will it end on 24 June? Would be quite helpful to know for planning. BTW I found it slightly easier to find information on this site than the main Melbourne Museum, thanks for your efforts!

Hi Sarah,
“Tycho to the Moon” is only listed until the 24^th of June because that is the last day it has been programmed before the holidays start. During the winter holidays, Tycho will be showing at 11am and 1pm. Programming for Term 3 has not yet been finalised, however because of its popularity it will most likely continue to be scheduled at the usual times listed above. Keep checking this website for updates!
