One World, One Sky: Big Bird’s Adventure
Posted by Amy on November 7, 2008
We paid a visit to Chicago’s Adler Planetarium to check out their brand new show, “One World, One Sky: Big Bird’s Adventure” and were nothing short of impressed.
We were invited to attend opening weekend and there was already a crowd lined up at the door to see the new show and to meet Elmo. Elmo was a lot bigger in person.
This was our first time visiting the Planetarium together. The line moved swiftly and soon we were in the Definiti Space Theater in our seats and waiting for the show to begin. The theater is dome-shaped and provides a 360 degree view.
The new Sesame Street show was incredible. The kids (and adults) in the audience were mesmerized by the huge, starry virtual sky surrounding them and the Sesame Street characters; Big Bird, Elmo, and Hu Hu Zhu (from China) were a plus, too. This is a fun, informative production that gives kids an insight into the big sky that surrounds us.
After the show, the kids were invited to participate in some hands-on activities that our toddler fully enjoyed.
So, if you’re in town, we recommend checking out this brand new show. It’s big fun for the whole family.
The Adler Planetarium is located on Lake Shore Drive, on the Museum Campus, just north of Soldier Field. One World, One Sky: Big Bird’s Adventure runs daily and on weekends. You can view the schedule HERE.
