The Rainbow Fish takes families on a sparkling journey

On September 26, 2026, children and families at the PLANET KA Planetarium Karlsruhe will dive into a colorful underwater world together with the Rainbow Fish. The approximately one-hour dome production combines a loving story about friendship with music, bright colors, and fascinating star constellations.

A story full of colors and friendship

The Rainbow Fish has the most beautiful scales in the vast ocean. When he loses one of his shimmering scales, an exciting search through the deep sea begins. Along the way, he meets new friends who help him and show him how valuable community, mutual support, and sharing are.

Astonishment under the planetarium dome

The projections make the sea shimmer in many colors. Children experience the deep sea with their senses and simultaneously discover the starry sky. They learn in a child-friendly way how the colors of the rainbow are created and how fish can even be found in the sky as constellations.

Aged appropriately and educationally valuable

The family experience is particularly suitable for children aged about 4 to 8 years. The combination of storytelling, music, visual impressions, and initial scientific impulses creates an age-appropriate learning experience. Themes such as friendship, empathy, curiosity, and joint discovery are at the center.

Important information for families

The performance lasts about one hour. Admission begins approximately 30 minutes before the event starts. Since re-entry is not possible for technical and organizational reasons, families should be on time. Unused tickets expire without replacement. Due to the limited number of seats, PLANET KA recommends online booking in advance.

A special family afternoon in Karlsruhe

The PLANET KA is located at the Old Slaughterhouse and is easily accessible by public transport. The stops Schloss Gottesaue and Tullastraße/Alter Schlachthof are nearby. Thus, the visit becomes a shared time filled with children’s laughter, wonder, and learning fun.

Conclusion: The Rainbow Fish awaits families with a heartwarming story, bright images, and exciting glimpses into the deep sea and the starry sky. Those looking for a child-friendly family experience with educational value will enjoy a special journey for little and big explorers here.
