Nehru Planetarium — Sky Theatre Shows
About the event
The Nehru Planetarium offers immersive dome 'Sky Theatre' shows and space exhibits that run all year except Mondays — a dependable August-to-December outing when weather pushes families indoors. Shows use visuals, sound and storytelling to explain the solar system, stars and galaxies in a way that captivates children, and the 3D shows are especially popular. Alongside the theatre, hands-on space models and displays — including a model of the rocket that carried Rakesh Sharma to space — give curious children plenty to explore. The planetarium also runs annual astronomy quizzes and art competitions, including in August. Best enjoyed by children of about four and up; younger siblings are welcome with family.
What to bring
• Your show tickets (bought on-site before the show)
• A water bottle, especially in the warmer months
• A light jacket for the air-conditioned dome
• Comfortable walking shoes for the exhibits and grounds
• A small snack for after the show
What to expect
A calm, seated dome show explaining space through visuals and narration, plus a set of hands-on exhibits and models. Each show runs roughly 30–40 minutes. Expect an educational, wonder-driven experience that suits school-age children particularly well, with enough to see for a comfortable half-day.
