The Show-Dome is a portable inflatable dome that brings the universe to you!
The Show-Dome inflatable dome can be set up indoors in a gymnasium
or multi-purpose room or stage.
The dome measures about 15 feet in diameter and about 10.5 feet high.
Carpeted floors make the viewing experience more enjoyable but are not required.
Shows are generally 25 - 30 minutes each with a short break between shows
to move people in and out of the dome.
I would love to work with you to tailor a program specifically to your needs.
Accommodates 20+ kids or a combination of adults and kids.
$200 1st hour/ $100 each hour after
I need an hour to set up (no charge) and about 45 minutes to take down (no charge)
A teacher or adult chaperone is required at each show.
Do you want the Show-Dome to come to your school, camp, library, or church? Send me an email:

Available shows are Live Interactive Presentations tailored to your needs
