Loosely styled on Sanchi’s iconic Buddhist stupa, this 1962 planetarium (mpbirlaplanetarium.org; ₹140) presents audiovisual shows on the wonders of the universe and mysteries of deep space. It's quite convenient as an air-conditioned rest stop in between your day's explorations of nearby sights, and the shows are quite fine in their execution and presentation (the baritone voice-over is particularly dramatic).
Recommended for those traveling with children. English-language shows take place daily at 1pm and 6pm, with tickets available up to 30 minutes beforehand, leaving enough time to visit nearby St Paul’s Cathedral while you wait.
