I booked the "The Sky Tonight" show at the Planetarium and it was absolutely beautiful. I went on a date and it was such a relaxing, wholehearted experience for both of us, it´s a pity that it´s only 30 minutes. Initially I encountered some issues as my date was running late and I was told we would not be allowed in the show past a certain time. I also couldn´t get a refund or reschedule so I was stressing a bit. But then I quickly called the Headout costumer service team and they solved the issue for me very promply and smoothly.

We rushed to the venue but the staff were really pleasant and helpful. The speaker, Joshua, was fun to listen to. The planetarium itself was good. I was left for wanting more, but it maybe because i have visited many planetariums in the past. It will be fun for the kids. Don't miss out!

I was expecting something different, more realistic projections, they were just computerized images, I was disappointed.Could have been provided an audio guide, the guide spoke very fast in English

A very enjoyable show. However I thought that being expected to pay additional costs to see the meridian line and the Harrison clocks in the same complex was too much to ask.

The Panel Area at the entrance was beautiful and worth investigating . . The planetarium show was a bit shallow.
