Join us on Sunday, 11 August for a monster collection of late-night shows in the Perpetual Guardian Planetarium.
We’ll have on offer:
7.30pm – Sea Monsters
8.30pm – The Sky Tonight
9.30pm – Flying Monsters
Sea Monsters will take you back to the time of dinosaurs! Dive into the oceans of the Late Cretaceous to follow Dolly, a curious and adventurous dolichorhynchops, as she travels through the most dangerous seas in history. Along the way, she encounters long-necked plesiosaurs, giant turtles, enormous fish, fierce sharks, and the most dangerous sea monsters of all, the mosasaurs!
The Sky Tonight is a live presentation detailing what you could see if you were to go stargazing in Dunedin that evening. Learn about enormous stars and monstrous constellations, and how to find them in the night sky, as well as hearing about some fascinating deep space objects.
Flying Monsters takes you back 220 million years, when dinosaurs were beginning their domination of Earth. But another group of reptiles was about to make an extraordinary leap: pterosaurs were taking control of the skies. The story of how and why these mysterious creatures took to the air is more fantastic than fiction. In Flying Monsters, Sir David Attenborough sets out to uncover the truth about the enigmatic pterosaurs, whose wingspan of up to 12 metres was equal to that of a modern day jet plane.
7.30pm, 8.30pm and 9.30pm, Sunday 11 August Shows run for 45 minutes each, and admittance to the planetarium is restricted to ages three years and up.
Children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets are available from the Otago Museum Shop or online.
For this monster line-up we have a monster deal. Book two sessions for the night and your third is absolutely free!
