We Are Aliens - For families, ages 6+

Step into the wonders of our universe with "We Are Aliens." This show delves into how our understanding of life on Earth drives the quest for alien life elsewhere. Travel to Mars, Europa, and distant exoplanets to ponder the ultimate question: are we alone? Narrated by the one and only Rupert Grint (famously known as Ron Weasley from Harry Potter), this immersive experience combines science, education, and family fun in a perfect balance.
