The Planetarium and Observatory

The Planetarium

A Visit to Space

Technoda’s planetarium invites you on a journey far beyond our own planet to discover the deep secrets of the universe.  

The technological world we live in is often too bright to enjoy the magnificent star-filled night skies above. 

The planetarium offers a realistic experience using an accurate optic system in a huge dome-shaped theater, simulating the darkness of space illuminated only by planets and starlight. 

Guided by our astronomy teachers, you’ll have the chance to observe and learn about the different shapes and patterns formed by the stars across the sky, just as our ancestors did. 

This activity is recommended for ages 8 and up.
