    For our youngest visitors and their parents, we’re opening Secret of the Cardboard Rocket, a delightful animated feature.

    Climb aboard a magical cardboard rocket with two young children and enter an extraordinary ride through space in this lighthearted show. Experience a breathtaking, up-close look at each of our solar system’s planets, and receive special guidance from Astronomy Book - a character personified by a wise, kind old man.

    See each fascinating orb as you never have before - including Mercury, which has the shortest year, and the famous red planet - Mars, where a volcano exists that’s larger than the state of Utah! Zoom through the crackling ice-and-rock rings of the “gas giant” Saturn, right after you investigate another gas giant - Jupiter, whose size equals 1,000 “earths.” Navigate around our other planets, and find yourself hurtling toward the outer reaches of our system to our final destination - the remote, frozen planet of Pluto.

    Suddenly you realize your “air supply” is running low and it’s time to return home. But hold on for one last revelation. It’s not until the end of your travels when you find out what the true secret of the rocket is - something that makes this apparently impossible trip to the edges of the universe and back become possible and within your reach at any time you so desire.

    At the story’s end, you’ll discover the Secret of the Cardboard Rocket.
