We went to a planetarium for the first time and it is a good planetarium to visit for the first time. There were so many models to see that we didn't get time to view, It is the perfect place for children or adults who have interest in space. Must go if you are in Mumbai. •Art Gallery (museum) You can also go to the nearby Art Gallery (free) if you have some interest in art and history. There was information about Harrapan Civilization, life of Jawaharlal Nehru, early humans etc. Sculptures, paintings, real tools, stones etc. on display. We were suggested there to go until the ticket counter of the planetarium starts. •Sky Theatre (Planetarium) The sky theatre of the planetarium was just as good as the rest of the planetarium, and many facts of how you can see the sky with naked eye. The AC of the sky theatre will make you feel like you are in space but some people like senior citizens or people with cold or cough might not like it (I caught a cold that day), but the 150 ruppees are worth it (Free for children below 5 years) •Timings (Planetarium) The Nehru Planetarium was open on everyday (not on Monday, so don't plan to go here on Monday). It is open from 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and is best to visit from June - March. The sky theatre can be listened in Hindi (12:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.), English (3:00 p.m.) and Marathi (1:30 p.m.). Best time to visit is from 12:00 p.m. or 2:00 p.m. (if you want there late) But please don't too late like at 4:00p.m. because the planetarium closes at 5:00p.m. I am so glad that I got a chance to visit this planetarium because I really have an interest in Science and space, I came here with a hope to see through a telescope but we didn't really find one there but they told us something like the telescopes are going to be on display out of the planetarium in October, and that it will be free to see through it. I hope that this review helped you to decide if you want to go to this planetarium if you were planning to go here😊

The Centre pragmatically promotes the teaching and thoughts of Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru through its cultural and educational events. The Planetarium strives to infuse and spread the knowledge about Astronomy and Science through prodigious lectures, discussions and events, ensuring an enriching experience, both in learning and entertainment. If space and science intrigues you, Nehru Planetarium is a place to visit during your stay in Mumbai, and of course.

One of the best places to get children's curious mind keep going. Located at Mahalaxmi, one can easily access the nehru planetarium by taking a western local train going towards Churchgate and halt and mahalaxmi railway station, from there the distance is around 1.5 km you can hire a taxi which will cost you around 35 bucks. At the entrance one will find the ticket counter, the ticket is cheap compared to the experience that you and your children will receive a must go location for childrens. After entering you will find a inside of a space ship sample, a small garden and 2 very old real train models. The planetarium is divided into various sections which house various things. There are big dinosaur figures in the garden abutting the building. Inside the building in the first floor there are various inventions and tricking equipments which will surely leave you amazed, on the 1 floor there are fossils, on other floor there are various instruments, also games. There is a canteen and washroom on the ground floor. A real jet plane model is there on the other park, and also busts of various great scientists of India like kalam and Vikram Sarabhai. Many schools arrange there picnic in the planetarium as I have also visited it when I was in school. Overall good place and a mesmerizing experience for both children and adults.

I recently visited the Nehru Planetarium in Mumbai, and it turned out to be one of the best places to visit in the city, especially for kids. The planetarium offers an engaging and educational experience that is perfect for young learners interested in the history of the Earth and the Big Bang theory.One of the highlights of our visit was the immersive show on the upper floor, which has been converted into a large screen. We watched a fascinating presentation that took us on a journey from the Big Bang to the age of dinosaurs and the emergence of the first life forms. The visuals and narration were captivating, making complex scientific concepts accessible and exciting for children and adults alike.Outside the planetarium, we were thrilled to see a life-sized rocket, adding to the overall experience and excitement of the visit. It's a great spot for taking memorable photos and further sparking curiosity about space exploration.Overall, the Nehru Planetarium is a fantastic place to visit in Mumbai. It combines education with entertainment, making it a must-visit for families. The experience was both informative and enjoyable, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for the wonders of our universe.
