The Reel Orb inflatable planetarium dome set up in a school gymnasiumIllustrative rendering for display purposes.

Outside: a quiet dome in your gymnasium.
Inside: a 360° journey through the universe.

Students cross the threshold from an ordinary school day into an immersive fulldome theater. The same projection technology used by museum planetariums. Brought to the one place every student can reach: their own school!

The field trip that comes to you

The museum visit, without ever leaving.

Buses, permission slips, chaperones, and a day of lost class time. A traditional field trip costs far more than the tickets. The Reel Orb brings a museum-grade experience to your own location, so every student can go, without going anywhere.

How it works

A Reel Orb day runs on your schedule.

We arrive an hour before your event and set up wherever you point us. Your teachers pick their shows and time slots before we arrive. We handle everything else.

7:30 AM
We arrive and set up
The theater inflates in a 25′ × 25′ space with a 12′ ceiling; a corner of most gyms or cafeterias.
8:30 AM
First class steps inside
Up to 35 students per show, about 30 minutes per block. Each class sees the show their teacher chose.
3:30 PM
Gone without a trace
After the last group and the final bell, we tear down, clean up, and leave your space exactly as we found it.
Book by the block

Choose the day that fits.

Every format includes setup, teardown, a trained presenter, and your choice of shows. Each show fills a 30-minute block, and the number of blocks is simply how we size your visit. After booking, you'll receive a link to build out your day.

Beyond a full day
For a booking that runs past a full eight hours. Planning for after-school activities? Longer corporate events? We can accommodate your needs.
The setup

You provide the space. We provide the stars.

The space
A 25′ × 25′ clear floor area with a 12′ ceiling, indoors. Most gyms, cafeterias, and multipurpose rooms qualify.
The power
Two standard outlets on separate circuits. That's the entire technical requirement.
The schedule
After booking, you'll receive access to schedule your day. Teachers claim their time blocks and pick shows in our online portal; no email chains, no spreadsheets.
Beyond the school day

The dome travels everywhere people gather.

Libraries, museums, churches, festivals, corporate events, and private celebrations. Daytime or evening. If people gather, The Reel Orb can meet them there.
