The show itself was not overly dissimilar to the usual Planetarium fare. The show unveils with a laser-etched outline of the Legacy including riggings and sails, as the voice of Silver, Brian Murray, welcomes visitors on the voyage across the galaxy. The launch of the vessel sees us taken to every planet in our solar system with Murray narrating and imparting knowledge about the conditions on the surface and the moons. As we fly past Pluto, the Legacy is drawn into a spiralling wormhole, that quickly unfolds to become a black hole. Luckily, the Legacy finds a transport portal, that sends the ship at high speed, twisting and turning back to port. The show utilises the original score by James Newton Howard and the closing music is the title song by John Rzeznik.

The presentation is enjoyable, if a little nauseating at times. However, Silver and Hawkins are spectacular in their detailing and their three-dimensional rendering demonstrates what strong characterisation they both had. The Treasure Planetarium is an interesting twist on the traditional Planetarium formula. However, Madame Tussauds offer an all-inclusive ticket price and therefore guests can also experience the waxworks themselves. However, at $30 each at peak time, the price is expensive and not value for money. In addition, queues can be several hours just to get in.
