Taipei Astronomical Museum

This children's museum houses four floors of constellations, ancient astronomy, space science and observatories. Although fun, there is a dearth of English-language content. More English-friendly attractions (at an extra charge) are the IMAX and 3D theatres. Cosmic Adventure is a space journey simulator that trundles pod riders past the planets of the solar system. You can sky- and star-gaze through the optical telescope on the 4th floor for free (10am to noon and 2pm to 4pm Tuesday to Sunday, and 7pm to 9pm Saturday).
