This planetarium is one of the best must visit places of Qatar especially the theatrical show is an awesome experience, a different kind of screen which is round shape and covering almost 300° view. The show looks realistic, amazing and kind of 3D show without the need for wearing 3d spectacle. The shows focus on Space science which is educational and good to learn about space and earth. The shows are scheduled mainly on Monday & Wednesday, it's one show a day. The show details are being updated in their official website. Online booking is their first preference but didn't worked for me as the error message shown that, required seats are not available when i tried to book for 2 persons. When we visited directly, our name was registered in waiting list. Once they first finished calling online booked persons, they have called the waiting list persons. During the entire show duration, the majority of the seats were empty. So, there is high chance to experience this show even if the online booking fails. The show is free of cost. Highly appreciate Qatar for the great experience provided.

This is something amazing that you wish to see and toouch !! Since long time I was telling my kids we will visit to a place where we can experience these planets very near... The cinema inside for this beautiful presentation was almost 180 degree, look like you are dreaming this universe and it's expanding slowly (gradually) these beautiful colours mesmerising your inner being and you are enjoying these astonishing moments with your friends and family ❣️.. Environment is very hygienical. Sophisticated and classic. Wide open. Comfortable seats. Unique screen (180 degree or more) You can calculate your weight on all planets Worth to visit with your family.

AL- THURAYA Planetarium, is a go-to attraction for visitors and resident, It overlooks the KATARA family beach, and is good for family visits. Teenagers and kids alike are wowed by the planetary bodies on displayed synchronizing the movement of earth and it's surrounding bodies. You also find a section highlighting the contribution of Islamic Scientists which I found inspiring and who's works are still relevant in the area of trigonometry, mathematics and geography and modern computing. There are many side attractions surrounding the planetarium you cannot get enough of Katara. Do visit and tell me.what you find interesting. In addition I just found a lost clip of me recreating an eclipse of the Sun by sandwiching the Moon between the Earth and the Sun. Creating the Erie effect and defining silence of time and matter. All this you can experience at the PLANETARIUM in KATARA.

In this planetarium, which is located in the Katara Village, children can interact with interactive boards, but be aware that some of them will require explanations. The museum does offer tours, but unfortunately, we couldn't take part in one when we visited. In spite of the fact that the planetarium is free and open to the public, I would only recommend going if you are in Katara Village because there isn't much to see and do inside.

A small planetarium near Katara Cultural village. There are interactive displays for kids in the hall. We went for the 5 pm English show which is about half an hour and is free. Be sure to get there at least an hour and register at the desk. The English show that we went for was on a Wednesday. Overall a fun place to take kids.

Infrastructure is just awesome and kids will enjoy the show about solar system. Seating capacity is for 200 people. Tickets free of cost. English and arabic shows are there. To avoid long waiting hours in queue, book tickets online. Sometimes they change the shows according to crowd.
