The Dome takes over the planetarium at the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre after dark and turns it into Vancouver's first spherical immersive theatre, built by some of the team behind the visuals at the Las Vegas Sphere. Ten thousand lines of resolution, 150,000 lumens, 20,000 watts of Dolby Atmos and a wall of lasers, all of it wrapping a ceiling you watch from a reclining planetarium seat. The bill rotates: the complete Dark Side of the Moon in 360, Andy Serkis narrating the return of the blue whales, Pedro Pascal and Tom Hanks walking you through the cosmos, a genuine 360 spacewalk. Pick your show, pick your night, and let the room do the heavy lifting.
Pick a show first, because the night is built around a specific start time, then book the seat on domevancouver.com (they sell out). Get there ten minutes early to sink into a reclining seat, and know it runs 25 to 50 minutes depending on the show. The seawall and Vanier Park are right outside for a walk, and Kitsilano is a five-minute drive for the meal on either side.
