We had an absolutely fantastic day when Wonder Dome came to visit us for our STEM event in school. The planetarium sessions were excellent and thoroughly enjoyed by all students who participated, and Curtis was so friendly and flexible with the timings of the shows to meet our needs for the event on the day. Thanks so much!

We had Dave come to deliver our WonderDome experience and it was exceptional! We had a whole day experience, covering Years 1, 2, 4 and 5 and every child came away in awe. The buzz and excitement around the school was evident and the amount of 'woah!' and 'LOOK!' moments inside the Dome were beautiful to experience. From speaking with the children in Year 1 after their session, everyone had a different element that was deemed their 'favourite', showing it really was a show for everyone.

What a fabulous experience our children had in the WonderDome. We were so impressed with the whole booking experience and the WonderDome created a lot of excitement in our school. As soon as we stepped inside the dome, we forgot where we were as we were swept along a journey across the solar system. Nicola's expertise, enthusiasm and professionalism were second to none. Highly recommend!

My year 5/6 class have had an afternoon Wonderdome session with one of heir presenters (Annette) and I wanted to leave some feedback. Annette was terrific! Really knowledgeable and passionate about her subject and blended a mix of deep, complex space science for the more confident children with the easily understood concepts for others. It was great to hear her make reference to female astronauts and those from different backgrounds too.
The visuals were stunning as well. My class (and I to be honest) were really excited prior to the session and they did not disappoint! I would strongly recommend Wonderdome to any school or club aimed at primary age children and I am sure the shows would adapt perfectly for older children.

Wonderdome came into our school recently and it was a fantastic experience for teachers and children! Dennis was engaging, knowledgeable and passionate and he really shared his enthusiasm for space with the children. It was definitely a WOW moment, and one I'm sure the children (and staff) will remember for a long time. Wonderdome certainly brings Earth and Space into schools in a way that our usual resources cannot. Thanks, Dennis!

We booked the WonderDome Mobile Planetarium to visit our Prep School. Ben, the presenter was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and organised with setting up/down. Everything ran like clockwork. The shows were suitable and appropriate for all ages from 3-11. All of the children commented 'wow' when they first saw the dome and they all loved it. Some of the content really extended their little minds and all of the children were full of space questions after.
It was a brilliant start to the term and a fantastic 'Stunning Start' to our new curriculum theme. Thank you. We were recommended to have you, and I am sure we will have you back and recommend you to others!

Wonderdome was a excellent event to book. Our presenter was really organised and informative, a pleasure to meet. Not only did we book Wonderdome for our year 7 students who all came out of the experience enthused about the solar system, wanting to know more but we also used wonderdome to introduce astronomy to our year 10 triple Scientists. This session was delivered at exactly the right level and again sparked interesting questions from our KS4 scientists

Wonderdome came to our school for our Reception children. The staff were lovely and were very helpful. The children absolutely loved show and they felt comfortable being with the members of staff as they had explained well what they would be doing and got the children excited before going into the dome. I highly recommend and will be using them again.

Today we were very lucky to have a brilliant space expert, Steve, in school, with the WONDER DOME! Each class took a turn inside this pop-up planetarium, where the magnificence of space appeared before our very eyes. We learnt some amazing facts (did you know that space is closer to our school than driving from here to Brighton? Just 60 miles!); saw a rocket launch; witnessed the scale of the universe and watched footage from the International Space Station (amongst lots of other things) Absolutely amazing.thank you for visiting Woodhall, Steve and the Wonder Dome! I would highly recommend this experience to other schools.

The Wonderdome visited our special school and was thoroughly enjoyed by both staff and pupils. Our speaker was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and engaging. The show was pitched perfectly and the children could not stop talking about their experience. I would be happy to invite Wonderdome to our school again next year. It was a fabulous activity to end the term!

We have had the Wonder dome visit us two years in a row, and we will definitely be having it come again for a third! The children are in AWE when they walk into the dome and the questioning and information that is given during the experience is wonderful! we will be in touch to book you again soon!
