Sci-Fi Sundays

12 genre-defining films screening in the planetarium.

Celebrating 10 years of genre-defining films.

For the past decade, Sci-Fi Sundays has transported audiences to galaxies far, far away.  

What started as a small experiment back in 2015 has grown into our longest running event series. Over the years we’ve changed the format slightly, adding snacks and a live star talk, but at its core Sci-Fi Sundays has always been about letting great films take you to the edge of our universe and beyond.  

Our 10th anniversary lineup features 12 cult-classics that defined the genre, plus a few modern favourites too. 

So sit back, look up, and let the dome transport you to another world. 

$25 per person

Tickets include popcorn and an optional live star talk after the film.
