“I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Planetarium. While much of the information presented can be found online, there is something uniquely engaging about learning in a space specifically designed to inspire curiosity and discovery. The highlights of my visit were the Gravity Room and the Interactive String Theory Wall, both of which offered hands-on and immersive learning experiences. Admission to the Planetarium is free, although visitors can choose to pay a small fee for the Planetarium show and selected attractions, which are well worth considering. The facility is generally well maintained. However, a few interactive exhibits were not functioning during my visit and could benefit from better upkeep. Overall, I would highly recommend this destination to parents looking for an educational outing with their children. It is also a worthwhile stop for anyone in the area who has an interest in science and space.”

“We visited during the school holidays. No wait and free entry (except for the space pod ride and show). Overall an educational experience, especially for children. However, some exhibits were closed when we were there. We liked the AI photo booth where you can download your photos for free via QR code.”
