Is it possible to rent an exhibit?

Yes, it is possible to rent an exhibit but not just a single one. We rent our mobile exhibition.

The “Captured Mind” exhibition was created because of the immense popularity that the first travelling exhibition of the Copernicus Science Centre enjoys.

Is it possible to rent science shows?

Currently, the CSC offers science shows that can be rented for schools, conferences, picnics, festivals and team-building events. Our science shows are a combination of experiments, scientific knowledge and a bit of humour. Each show is a series of thematically grouped experiments that engage the audience, and the show’s level of difficulty and form of presentation is adjusted to the age and preferences of the audience. It is a perfect offer for all those who like ambitious and extraordinary entertainment.

How to get to the Planetarium?

The Heavens of Copernicus Planetarium is located in a separate building, at the back of the Copernicus Science Centre, on the bank of the Vistula River. Entrance to the Planetarium faces the Świętokrzyski Bridge.

How long is a show at the Planetarium? Jak wygląda seans w Planetarium?

About an hour. Seans najczęściej składa się z dwóch części: pokazu nieba prowadzonego na żywo oraz filmu.

Can I buy tickets to the Planetarium together with the tickets to the Centre?

Yes, but only if both tickets are for the day on which the purchase is being made (subject to availability).

Czy są seanse z audiodeskrypcją?

Tak, obecnie mamy trzy filmy z audiodeskrypcją: „Na skrzydłach marzeń”, „Czarne dziury: podróż w nieznane", „Ziemia, Księżyc, Słońce”.

Dla kogo przeznaczone jest Planetarium?

Do Planetarium zapraszamy dzieci od 3 roku życia, dzieci starsze, młodzież i dorosłych. W szerokim programie planetarium każdy znajdzie coś dla siebie.

Czy mogę wejść do sali z małym dzieckiem?

Prosimy, aby do Planetarium nie przyprowadzać dzieci młodszych niż trzyletnie. Mówi o tym regulamin oraz nasze doświadczenia: maluchy źle znoszą panującą na seansach ciemność, hałas i nadmiar bodźców wizualnych.

W przypadku wyjścia z sali (np. do toalety) nie ma możliwości powrotu na seans.

Jak wybrać seans w Planetarium?

W planetarium znajdują się filmy dla najmłodszych widzów, np. „Pod jednym niebem” (już od 3 lat) oraz filmy dla starszych, np. „Polaris” (od lat 7), czy „Halo Ziemia” i „Na skrzydłach marzeń” (od lat 10). W programie mamy też koncerty muzyki klasycznej, elektronicznej i jazzowej, a także multimedialne pokazy prowadzone przez naukowców.

Zobacz nasz repertuar.

Co jeszcze można zobaczyć w Planetarium?

W planetarium można obejrzeć dostępną dla wszystkich, bezpłatną wystawę „Patrz: Ziemia” . Dokładne obejrzenie całej wystawy zajmie około 1,5 godziny. Opowiada ona o obserwacji Ziemi z kosmosu i wykorzystywaniu zebranych w ten sposób danych.

Dlaczego muszę być punktualnie w Planetarium?

Seanse w Planetarium ogląda się najlepiej, kiedy w sali projekcyjnej jest zupełnie ciemno. Inaczej część wyświetlanych gwiazd jest niewidoczna.
Ze względu na bezpieczeństwo i komfort widzów – nie wpuszczamy do sali projekcyjnej osób spóźnionych (żeby nie zakłócać odbioru i nie wpuszczać światła).

• Prosimy odbierać bilety na 10 minut przed seansem i być przed salą projekcyjną kilka minut przed rozpoczęciem seansu.
• Prosimy o niewychodzenie z sali w czasie seansu.
• W przypadku opuszczenia sali nie ma możliwości powrotu na seans.
• Po rozpoczęciu seansu nie ma możliwości wejścia do sali projekcyjnej.

Czy w Planetarium jest jakiś punkt gastronomiczny?

W związku z pandemią koronawirusa i zarządzeniem Rady Ministrów kawiarnia w Planetarium jest zamknięta.

Czy można nagrywać, fotografować lub filmować seans w Planetarium?

Pokazów ani filmów nie można rejestrować nie tylko dlatego, że są objęte prawami autorskimi, a także dlatego, że każde źródło światła zakłóca ich przebieg. Prosimy też o wyłączanie na czas seansu telefonów komórkowych. W sali musi być zupełnie ciemno.
