B.M. Birla Planetarium - Planetarium in Chennai - Chennai, India

Very big space for parking at a nominal cost of Rs.20/-. Buy entry (15), show tickets(60) at the entrance. During the time I visited except the planetarium other shows were full, so I was unable to enjoy them. Entire place dedicated for science. Kids will enjoy the animal statues, science park, maths, DRDO, Nuclear, Space, Biology exhibitions. Worth spending 4+ hours to cover all the areas. Planetarium 360deg show was jaw dropping experience and very informative to know the planets around us.

Good exhibition with a beautiful planetarium inside with amazing visuals. Although it's always noisy with screaming kids and crying toddlers making it hard to enjoy the show. Also look at the show timings beforehand so that you don't miss out when you reach there. Buy tickets in advance too. It used to be great years ago, while it still is good, it needs renovation in its exhibits and outdoor facilities. There should also be a better canteen in place.

Enquire before visiting the planetarium, there was no show when I went. Museum is somewhat good, to understand science concepts as well as for seeing various exhibits. Few of them doesn't work, should've kept them maintained by the authorities. There is a dinosaur park as well where sculptures of few dinausor age animals are kept

Such an interesting place to visit with kids... everything is fine they displayed for kids...mirror house really a super cool experience of mine even for kids as well... tickets also very reasonable for this trip....final touch and the highlight of this place was showing the space room felt like we r traveling into space...very thrilling experience that one...kids enjoyed and leaned a lot...must visiting place...

Visited 22/7/23. 2 Wheeler Parking is Rs. 5/- In Science Parks.. Most of the things is damaged, not working. If you are going adults only.. Then Buy ticket for entry + Planetorium.. If you are going with kids.. Then Buy package ticket... Planetorium is Very Nice.. 3D show and Science of Centre is not worth at all.... Clean Toilets Available... Canteen available for snacks.. Drinking water available... 1 Day spot for chennai makkal and their Kids..

The place is good for small kids to visit and have some knowledge about about scientific and historical stuff but for an adult only the first show and some small museum objects to see would be interesting. The entry fees per person is 80Rs, the first show which is about the solar system is really wonderful, the dinosaur 3d show is really worst, literally nothing feels 3d there, would not recommend it for even kids, science on sphere is decent one. The rest museum or Knowledgeable type places to visit inside are fossil, ISRO, transport history, Information about our deep seas and oceans, mirror maze. Also there is a small park outside for children to play, but prefer not to visit that park during Summers, the scorching heat is too much for them. Must try once but not a place to visit again and again, the fun may exponentially decrease. It also has some basic food stalls inside but not so sure about the quality and stuff.

For kids it is a best science knowledgable place... U can spend here one day time pass for kids... Planitorium shows are timing 1200 pm - Tamil 0115pm - English 2:30pm- Tamil 3:45pm - English 4:30pm - Tamil In weekends it is best to take tickets in advance Total package ticket price - 80 rupess Gud place

Show is good for children's. Ticket counter opens at 10.00am. Everything is good except toilets ( not properly maintained) huge no of students using this....
