A fascinating look at the sky for the whole family
At the Planetarium Kassel, families can expect a child-friendly family experience around solar and lunar eclipses. On Sunday, September 6, 2026, Wilfried Dreher will take small and big explorers into the world of astronomy. From age 8, wonder turns into real learning pleasure.
When the sky holds its breath for a moment
Eclipses are among the most impressive natural phenomena. In the dome of the planetarium, children will experience how the sun, moon, and earth interact and why the sky changes for a moment. This makes knowledge tangible, awakens curiosity, and creates shared time that families enjoy remembering.
Explained in a child-friendly way, excitingly staged
The event combines understandable explanations with impressive images. This creates a learning experience that is age-appropriate and offers younger schoolchildren easy access to astronomy. This is ideal for families: wonder, ask questions, understand, and discover together.
A safe outing with a clear framework
The Kassel Planetarium is geared towards visitors and offers barrier-free access with an elevator, wheelchair access, assistance dogs, and parking spaces for people with disabilities. With 54 seats, it is one of the largest planetariums in Hesse. For families, this means: well planned, pleasant and clear.
The location: Planetarium in the Orangerie
The planetarium is located in the Orangerie at Karlsaue in Kassel. The historic surroundings, the quiet location, and the strong focus on science make the visit special. Those coming with children will experience an outing that beautifully combines education and enthusiasm.
Conclusion
This family program makes astronomy vivid and understandable. Anyone wanting to inspire children about nature, science, and the sky will find a strong recommendation here for shared family time. Best to experience it live and discover the cosmos in the dome.
