Planets
It has a small museum with space suit and sarellite model. History of space explorqtuon8 to tickle young minds. 3D show is reasonably good experience. TIPS book tickets online. Reach half an hour beforehand and not much in advance since there is not much to do apart from show. PM sangrahalaya museum is just besides planetarium. Plan your day such that you can do both on same day if possible.

Fascinating insight into outer space
One of several planetariums set up to disseminate an interest in and an awareness of astronomy among the general public, the Nehru Planetarium in Delhi is located within the grounds of Teen Murti Bhawan, once the home of Indiaâ€™s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. The planetarium has a small gallery of exhibits relating to astronomy (both related to India, and globally), but you see this only as a preliminary to the main focus of the planetarium, which is the show. The show at the planetarium is in two languages: English at 11.30 AM and 3 PM, and Hindi at 1:30 PM and 4 PM. Tickets for each show cost Rs 80 for an adult, and Rs 50 for a child above 4 years of age. The show is about 40 minutes long, and the ticket counter opens half an hour before the start of the next show. As soon as youâ€™ve bought a ticket, you can enter the planetarium building and spend the time until your show starts looking at the exhibits, which include some interesting information on ancient astronomy (including models of the Jantar Mantar, insights into pioneers like Galileo and Herschel, how the ancients across the world viewed and interpreted the skies, and so on). There are lots of fascinating facts about planets, the sun, outer space, and more; an old space suit worn by an Indian astronaut; information about missions to the rest of the solar system; etc. For the show, you go into the Sky Theatre, which is a circular theatre with a high domed roof. Try to get a seat as near the centre as possible; this way, when the show projects onto the sides of the theatre, you wonâ€™t be having to crane your neck right around to see whatâ€™s happening. The show is a really fascinating one, well scripted and well executed, which covers lots of interesting facets about the solar system: its evolution, how mankind has perceived the solar system, how studies and explorations have been carried out, and what facts have been unearthed about other planets, asteroids, comets, etc. Itâ€™s informative, interesting, and visually very striking.

Always in awe of this place
This place has a certain calming effect on you. You must visit here with families and friends to spend some quiet quality time. Also, don't forget to see the show and try the canteen next to the library.

Plan accordingly
The Museum and Planetarium are two separate entities.But recommend to first visit the Planetarium, because it is generally crowded and show timimg for Hindi & English is also different. Addition to this the ticket counter for space show only opens sometimes before the show starts. If you donâ€™t want to enjoy the show, which is normally for 30 minutes, then you can enter free.The entry ticket for the sky show is Rs.50/- for child and Rs.80/- for adult. After enjoying the show you have to walk on the directions given to the Teen Murti Bhawan which is entry free. There you see different rooms used by Nehru,his jacket, numerous letters and other exhibits.The museum also has a souvenir shop. The entry gate of both Nehru Planetarium & Teen Murti Bhavan is separate so that you can enter on any side and exit on any side with a connecting road in between.
