Hi Lisa,

sorry, I must have missed your original message.

I know of one example that seems to fit your description rather well: 
The Starlab (http://www.starlab.com/) is a traveling planetarium, 
that seems clearly tailored towards schools. The Calgary Science 
Centre features one 
(http://www.calgaryscience.ca/educators/outreach.php ) but I have 
seen it at other centers as well. It is not a huge exhibit in its own 
right, but at the Calgary Science Centre, it comes with its own 
interpreter, so it is more than just a box with curious things. I 
know that it can go beyond city limits but not how often or how far 
exactly.

I hope that helps somewhat,
Peter Davis
