Bring ideas to life on the biggest screen.

Giant Dome Theater Library

Add a powerful shared moment to your field trip at Griffin MSI. Select a title from the Giant Dome Library and schedule a special screening that connects directly to what your students are learning in class. Beyond the films currently showing in the Giant Dome Theater, you can choose from a curated collection of science titles to deepen a specific topic, reinforce key concepts and spark meaningful discussion. These large-format screenings give students the chance to explore complex ideas together through vivid visuals and compelling storytelling. Use the presentation as a launch point for observation, reflection and conversation that continues back in the classroom. Turn a Museum visit into an exploration that supports your instructional goals and strengthens understanding.

  • Library screenings require a minimum of 50 students.
  • Tickets for students and chaperones (1 per 10 students) are $8; tickets for extra adults are $8.
