The Melbourne Planetarium at Scienceworks features a 16-metre domed ceiling, reclining seats, a 7.1 surround-sound system and a fulldome video-projection system. The result is spectacular colour and movement like never before, creating a unique immersive environment and awe-inspiring astronomical experience.

Once inside the foyer space, move towards the circular desk across from the entry, then turn right towards the larger black double doors. This is the entry into the cinema space.
