NEW! Aurorae
(for All Ages)
The aurorae, or northern lights, are one of the most beautiful and mysterious sights in the night sky. Join us on an expedition to the Northwest Territories in northern Canada to see these shimmering curtains of light under pristine dark skies. Aurorae are not only beautiful, but they also hint at some of the fundamental properties of our planet Earth and its interaction with the Sun. Aurorae explores the connection between solar activity and northern lights, highlighting the latest science and looking ahead to the upcoming solar maximum next year.

Legends of the Northern Sky
(for All Ages)
The Indigenous people of North America connect with the night sky in fundamental ways that resonate with their world. In Legends of the Northern Sky, we learn and appreciate their stories in the stars and in turn, learn a little bit more about the spirit that connects us all.
Take a dangerous expedition south to retrieve summer and return it to the frozen north alongside Ocek, the fisher, and his band of animal friends. And, learn how the great bully, the giant bear Mista Maskwa, was finally tamed by a brave band of birds.
Perfect Little Planet
(for Families)
Imagine the ultimate space vacation! Discover our solar system through a new set of eyes – a family from another star system seeking the perfect vacation spot. Fly over the surface of Pluto, our best known Dwarf Planet. Dive over the ice cliffs of Miranda. Sail through the rings of Saturn. Feel the lightning storms of Jupiter. And walk on the surface of Mars. Which destination would you choose?
Manitoba Skies
(for All Ages)
Take a guided tour of Manitoba’s night sky. This live show, presented by our planetarium staff, highlights the constellations, planets, and celestial events that you can see on clear evenings, and answer your space questions.
