Bring the whole family and explore space after hours! We’ll dive into humanity’s exploration of space through exciting screenings in Wisdome Umeå and take a look at the Sámi night sky, as the half-term coincides with Sámi Week. And who knows – you might even meet our very own astronaut!
▷ Free admission for all children and young people up to and including 19 years old.
Otherwise, our standard weekend and school holiday prices apply.

Discover how astronauts train before and during their space missions. Take on our fun half-term challenge and try training like an astronaut!
See how the Northern Lights are created – in miniature! Using our planeterella, we demonstrate space weather and how aurora forms through the interaction between solar activity and Earth’s magnetic field.
Could the planets in our solar system float on water if there were an ocean large enough? And is there a difference between rocky planets and gas giants?
Use different objects and compare the buoyancy of various planets in this density-themed chemistry lab. Can you make Potato Saturn float?
What would your dream aurora look like? Let your imagination run free and paint your own version of the sky’s most magical light show!
We offer two family-friendly planetarium shows during the evening. What is a planetarium show? Read more here.
6 PM Life in Space – Join us on a journey exploring humanity’s quest to understand the universe. How far can we see with telescopes, and how far have we travelled into space so far?
7 PM The Celestial Moose Hunt – As the half-term coincides with Sámi Week, we take a look at the Sámi night sky, where the stars tell the story of a great celestial moose hunt.
