Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium

About

Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium in Bengaluru is a public planetarium and science education centre on Sri T. Chowdaiah Road in High Grounds, opposite the Indira Gandhi Musical Fountain and near Raj Bhavan in central Bengaluru. Run by the Bangalore Association for Science Education, it is a popular outing for families, school groups and anyone curious about astronomy. Visitors can watch scheduled shows in the Sky Theatre, explore the exhibition hall and science park, and take part in public telescope sessions and astronomy events. The planetarium also runs structured learning programmes such as Science Over Weekends and other courses for students, holds workshops, lectures and monthly movie screenings, and publishes a monthly sky chart and updates on astronomical events. Entry tickets and show schedules are listed on its official website, and block bookings are available for schools and groups. For anyone looking for things to do near Cunningham Road, a science outing for kids in central Bengaluru or a planetarium show near Vidhana Soudha and Cubbon Park, this is a long-standing landmark. It is closed on Mondays and on second Tuesdays.
