DISCOVERY DOME SHOW
THE GREAT PLANET ADVENTURES

Off-World Thrills on Every Planet

With muscles and bones made on Earth, you'll be a super star on the solar system's low-gravity worlds. Imagine zip lining on the scorched Mercury or snowmobiling when it really snows on Pluto. Bungee jumping into outer space from an asteroid is like low-g diving from the tallest cliff or rappelling into deepest canyon in the solar system. Without gravity's strong pull, you can glide over the hydrocarbon lakes of Titan, jet-pack in a geyser's spray on Triton, or even drive a monster truck along a steep lunar crater wall. THE GREAT PLANET ADVENTURES brings you each of these incredible off-world adventures.
