I have arranged an excursion to the Planetarium for with live show in english called „Fly to Mars“.
We will meet at the entrance to the Planetarium (in Stromovka park) at 13:15.
The ticket costs 100 czk per child and per adult. It includes: entry for exhibition, using the simulators (ride on the Moon and Mars), make a photo in the photobox, where you can choose some space background, and the show.
This show is only available for groups so this is a great opportunity for us homeschoolers and other families that want to join us at this time.
I have to pay in advance so to reserve your place please send a payment to our paypal or bank account number (to pay message me here or on Facebook for the details) and add yourself on THIS list. (write name and how many kids over 4 (babies and toddlers go free). Its totally ok to bring babies and toddlers, just bring something to keep them occupied just in case.
The amount is limited so please make the reservation as soon as possible. The latest day for reserving is one week before, 20th of March, so that I have time to confirm with the planetarium.
For those that doesnt know where the Planetarium is, we can meet at Vystaviste Holesovice tram stop, by the fountain, message me before if you want to meet there. You can take tram 12, 6, 17 to there, and the metro to Nadrazi Holesovice and jump on the tram there.
