New Year’s Eve under the sign of the stars

New Year’s Eve doesn’t always have to be loud, hectic and full of crowds. Those who prefer to end the year quietly, consciously and yet in an extraordinary way will find a special alternative to the classic New Year’s Eve at the Planetarium Wien.

On 31 December 2025, a special New Year’s Eve program will take place there from 12:00 to 21:00 and is aimed primarily at families, space fans and anyone who prefers a more relaxed way of celebrating. The focus will be on the “Cosmic Fireworks” program, an impressive visual show projected onto the dome of the planetarium. Instead of loud fireworks, visitors will experience fascinating natural phenomena of the universe – exploding stars, glowing nebulae, auroras and dynamic solar eruptions.

These fireworks of the cosmos are not only impressive to watch, but also completely silent and therefore ideal for children and sensitive visitors. The program is complemented by exciting and informative planetarium presentations that explain complex astronomical topics in an understandable and entertaining way.

A major advantage of this alternative New Year’s Eve offer is its family-friendly character. Children can playfully discover the secrets of the universe, while adults can enjoy the special atmosphere and end the year in a calm, inspiring way. The program is also suitable for those who prefer to celebrate New Year’s Eve during the day and spend the evening relaxing. The alternative New Year’s Eve at the Vienna Planetarium combines knowledge, entertainment and contemplation in a unique way.

It is a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment, look up at the sky and start the new year with a sense of wonder and curiosity.
