Lonely Planet review

This planetarium has a domed space theatre that offers shows of the night sky using state-of-the-art equipment capable of projecting over 7500 stars, planets and galaxies. The giant 1000-sq-metre screen also hosts natural science films. The subjects range from astronauts and space shuttles to diving expeditions.

The planetarium was named after the famed Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), whose creation of precision astronomical instruments allowed him to make more exact observations of planets and stars and paved the way for the discoveries made by later astronomers.

These days, the most popular shows are the Omnimax films, which last about 50 minutes, but are usually followed by a 10-minute show featuring the night sky. There is also a planetarium-only show but it's only on a couple of times a week, so call ahead for the schedule.
