3-2-1 Liftoff! starts a warm family adventure into space in Karlsruhe

With 3-2-1 Liftoff!, PLANET KA offers a lovingly told children's and family program for little space fans aged 7 and up. On September 24, 2026, at 5:00 PM, families will experience an imaginative story about courage, ingenuity, and the big question of how a crazy idea turns into a real adventure.

A planetarium experience full of curiosity and wonder

The centerpiece is hamster Elon, who lives in a junkyard and suddenly meets a battered robot. This encounter leads to a story about friendship, creativity, and the belief that even seemingly impossible things can happen. This is what makes this family experience so strong: children follow a clear storyline, discover the subject of space travel playfully, and take home a valuable message.

Child-friendly, age-appropriate, and with educational value

The program is aimed at children aged 7 and up, making it well-suited for young visitors who can consciously follow stories. The production combines entertainment with learning fun and supports important developmental themes such as problem-solving, perseverance, and teamwork. PLANET KA generally recommends a calm atmosphere for planetarium visits without roughhousing or playing in the hall so that the experience remains focused and safe for everyone.

Important notes for families

Admission begins about 30 minutes before the show starts. Please plan to arrive on time, as late admission is not possible. Unused tickets become void without compensation. For families, this means: arrive on time, take your seats relaxed, and enjoy the special atmosphere under the dome. Those traveling with children also benefit from barrier-free access and the ramp directly into the dome hall.
