We Are Stars Planetarium Show (Ages 8+)

This show takes families on a journey through cosmic chemistry and the origins of our universe. You'll explore fundamental questions about what we're made of and where everything came from, following the story from the formation of hydrogen atoms through to the creation of carbon and the molecules that make life possible. The presentation is narrated by Andy Serkis and produced by NSC Creative, making it engaging for kids ages 8 and up. Your ticket includes not just the planetarium show, but also general admission to all the center's exhibits. You can arrive early to explore before the show starts or stick around afterward to check out UNC Chapel Hill research displays, watch live science experiments on the Science Stage, browse the gift shop, and let kids get hands-on in the Launch Lab. Just check the planetarium's website ahead of time to confirm exhibit hours for your visit date. Tickets range from $12 to $14 per person.
