Sherwood Observatory
Adults £7.50 and Children £6.00 (4 -15yrs)
Explore the possibility of life on other planets. Learn the limits of biology as we know it. Imaginative visualizations of possible life forms.
"Distant Worlds — Alien Life?" is a beautiful planetarium film exploring one of the most enduring questions of humankind — are we alone?
For millennia our ancestors watched the stars, questioning the origin and nature of what they saw. Still today we ask these questions, knowing that the Universe is a vast place filled with billions and billions of stars and planets — but yet, Earth is the only planet we know for sure to be inhabited.
Suitable for 4+ and teen/adult audiences. Please note under 16's must be accompanied by an adult.
Tickets should be purchased in advance on the Sherwood Observatory website to avoid disappointment.
