Man what a cool place. An upgrade of the chairs and 5 billion stars would be too little <- see what i did there, with the stars (like space... Yeah i know, my jokes are bad, but this place isn't). Great for kids too. Oh, and has the world's oldest working star projector. Not sure if that is a good thing, but it makes you feel like it belongs in space

A beautiful, recently renovated planetarium based at Wits University. Most shows cater to school children, however there are talks and events hosted here several times a year. You can also buy telescopes and books about astronomy here.

Very educational. Always lives up to the expectations. The current projector is 90 years old and will be retired at the end of June 2022. Thereafter the planetarium will close for modernization and renovations.

See what the night sky is supposed to look like without any light pollution or clouds in the sky - definitely something you can do with the kids, and an experience you'll remember

Easy to book tickets online, quick Covid screening. Amazing and educational experience. Would recommend taking a small pillow along, chairs are a bit uncomfortable.
