Head back to school with two kids and a talking astronomy book as they take a tour of the solar system (including a stop at Pluto!) and learn about each of the planets along the way. Why are the worlds of the inner solar system known as "rocky midgets"? What would it be like to fly through the storms of Jupiter or the rings of Saturn? Find out, along with information about what makes each planet unique, in this fully immersive voyage of discovery, suitable for students of all ages. Running time is approximately 30 minutes. (For private school groups, there is also a 40-minute version available with additional stops at the Sun and Moon. A Spanish-language version of the show is available as well.) All shows are followed by a live introduction to the Kankakee skies and a ride on a thrilling space coaster!
