Description
The Solar System observation tower takes children on a journey through space: an 11.5 m tower crowned by a golden sun sphere, orbited by steel-and-HPL decorations of all eight planets. Inside, an all-rope core climbs through three platforms to the summit, and three stainless steel slides – complete with skylights and star-field graphics – bring astronauts back to earth.
An astronomy lesson children climb through
Access is through a central rope well, with platforms at 2.5 m, 4.2 m and 5.9 m marking each stage of the ascent towards the sun sphere. Two printed transparent polycarbonate panels and a mirrored dibond panel add visual play on the way, while a nest swing extends the fun at ground level. With its 11.5 m silhouette and educational theming, the tower is a flagship choice for science parks, planetarium grounds and ambitious municipal playgrounds serving ages 5 to 14.

Frequently asked questions
How is an 11.5 m tower certified at a 2.5 m free fall height?
The climb takes place inside the enclosed rope core, with platforms limiting any open fall to 2.5 m; the slides are enclosed stainless steel chutes. Surfacing is sized to the certified 2.5 m value.
What area should be reserved?
Plan a minimum safety zone of 18.5 x 14.4 m with EN 1176-1 compliant impact-attenuating surfacing, plus site access for installation equipment.
Can the tower support educational programming?
Yes – the eight planet decorations and sun sphere give schools and science venues a ready-made outdoor teaching aid about the solar system.
