The Galactic Tours program is designed for students from Kindergarten to Grade 2.

When the students arrive, they are divided into small groups; each group is led by a Spacesim member. Each child is then given a Galactic Passport and the groups embark on a journey through our solar system.

During this trip, groups visit stations dedicated to the planets and our sun. There, they do neat experiments to learn about each of the planets. Their Galactic Passports are then stamped to show that they have journeyed through the solar system.

We regret that we currently do not offer this program as an activity.
