It was nice experience. Besides planetarium, there is a small museum, where we can see some species of reptiles, frogs and spiders. Kids can also do some experiments of physical science. It is good place to visit.

Amazing! So educational and interesting. Small space but you won't be bored for long, there's plenty to interact with as you wait for your show to start.
