Special Showing: Astronomica

It’s in our nature to look up at the night sky and wonder: Where did we come from?

From the visionary creator of Mesmerica and Beautifica comes an all‑new immersive dome experience — a breathtaking journey through the infinite beauty of the cosmos.

Drift through auroras, dance through the stars, and discover worlds beyond even the wildest of dreams realized by a global community of artists. The epic score and mind‑bending visuals of ASTRONOMICA will carry you throughout the universe and into the most sacred place of all — the worlds that lie within.

✨ We all began as stardust — where will your story begin?

Note- tickets must be purchased directly from Worlds. See their website for the most accurate show times
