Lonely Planet review

Looking more like a mosque than a centre for scientific research, the National Planetarium is a short walk uphill from the Islamic Arts Museum. The planetarium is part of the National Space Agency, and parts of the rocket that launched Malaysia's first satellite are displayed in the main gallery. Planetarium shows (around RM2 to around RM6 depending on the program) take place throughout the day in English and Bahasa.

In the grounds are models of famous historic observatories, including Jai Singh's Delhi observatory and Stonehenge.
