Smithsonian Starstruck: An Immersive Experience is a 3D interactive, virtual reality experience that begins at Earth’s observatories and launches visitors into the universe—aboard the world’s most powerful space telescopes.
Developed in collaboration with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), Starstruck draws on decades of astronomical research to translate scientific data into a fully immersive, interactive and walkable universe.
Blending cutting-edge immersive technology with authentic science and powerful storytelling, Starstruck brings the birth and death of stars, and the vast depths of the cosmos, to life in an entirely new way for audiences craving smart entertainment.
Built from real astronomical data, Starstruck is far more than an exhibition; it is a cosmic journey, allowing guests to activate their senses as they touch, hear and navigate the wonders of the universe like never before.
During the experience, guests travel alongside the Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory, journeying far beyond Earth and deep into the cosmos.
Along the way, they encounter extreme exoplanets, witness the life cycle of stars and explore the immense scale of galaxies and black holes, gaining a deeper understanding of humanity’s place in the universe.

From young explorers to grown-up stargazers, Free Family Sunday is designed to turn curiosity into discovery. Families can explore the science behind the stars and take home space-inspired goodies.
The experience lasts about 40 minutes and is recommended for guests ages 10 and up.
Tickets are usually $32 to $36, so this is quite the savings!
