The Dome is now CLOSED to visitors
As the world marked the year 2000, Greenwich moved centre-stage. The Dome was an opportunity for us all to celebrate the year 2000. An incredible, inspiring day out - for one year only.At the very heart of the Dome is The Millennium Show - a high energy show with dancing, flying performers, special visual effects, and a powerful soundtrack by Peter Gabriel. Up to five times a day, it tells the dramatic love story of a boy of dreams and a girl of action as epoch-making events overtake their worlds.
Elsewhere, there are many exciting zones to explore including a tour through the human body, a voyage through space, a trip to a typical British seaside resort, and an evocative visit back to school with school smells and sounds. There is a new specially-made time-travelling Blackadder film starring Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson, showing in the Skyscape Venue.
