Riding Snowflakes
Molecularium – Riding Snowflakes is an award-winning digital dome experience that takes young audiences into a magical, musical world of atoms and molecules.
This 23-minute immersive, animated musical is aimed at young audiences, but everyone has fun and learns a lot along the way. Experience the transformation of matter, explore the water cycle and discover that everything is made of atoms and molecules in this action-packed adventure.
Zoom into the molecular level, build molecules from atoms, and explore states of matter in the Nanolab of our interactive Kid’s Site. Check out the experiments, activities, and songs included in our Teacher’s Resource Guide which are free and fun for your home, classroom or museum.
“Molecularium has gotten rave reviews from teachers and from the public! We were skeptical at first as it seemed like a lot of content for the age range of the cartoon format, but everyone learns something new in this fast-paced show with its memorable songs and characters.”
Alexandra Barnett, Former Executive Director
Chabot Space & Science Center
Explore billions and trillions of atoms and molecules with Oxy, a precocious oxygen atom, and Hydro and Hydra, her wacky hydrogen pals.
Ride from the atomic structure of a snowflake to the far reaches of space aboard the Molecularium, the most fantastic ship in the Universe. With help from Mel, the ship’s computer, and Carbón, a passionate carbon atom, the crew explores the secret world within everyday objects.
Audiences join this cast of atoms on an immersive and unforgettable adventure into the nanoscale universe.

“All of us at LodeStar–and our visitors–loved turning our planetarium into the Molecularium. The show delights, engages, and educates audiences in important science concepts outside the traditional bounds of astronomy and planetarium programming. It’s fun, impossibly cute, terrifically clever, and the learning comes in the most convivial way done yet on a digital dome.”
David Beining, Director, LodeStar Astronomy Center
