I visited the Planetary show with my son (7), my autistic daughter (9) and with my mother. For all of us it was a great and amazing spectacular. I was concern about my daughter as she may want to leave before the performance would finish, but it captured her heart as well... it was clearly a WOW-factor.... later we had a nice walk around the Observatory's area and in the park, spent there overall a 4 hours. Highly recommended.

Very good and interesting, the narrator had a lovely voice and explained everything well, wish it had been a bit longer, 45 minutes instead of 30. Went very quickly, thoroughly enjoyed it.

A very interesting site, rich in history for enthusiasts. Too bad the comments are all in English.

Planetarium was fantastic. Ticket experience not good. They wouldn't let us in until we queued at the info desk and got tickets printed out. Note to self - next time book direct with the planetarium!
