Indira Gandhi Planetarium Review

A very good place for weekend trips with kids, family and friends. Basically you need only 2-2.5 hours to see it.
There is a show in the auditorium whose timings are:
1. 11am
2. 1pm
3. 2:30 pm
MONDAY IT'S CLOSED.
The ticket prices are 25per head for adults above 3 years of age.
There are two floors where there are some models of different things related to astronomy like the space suit, space shuttle and rockets.

Though the quality of the show is outdated, but still there is something that will again and again pulls you towards it

Very nice planetarium with informative trip among stars

Very educational..whole galaxy can be visited sitting on a chair..beautiful premises and surrounding park.

Nice place... But not describe all planets and galaxy

Whan I saw the movie of dianasorus than tha experience is so amazing

I had no good experience in the Indira Gandhi Planetarium. I saw the show with my child on 04 january2019, in this show only the information was given by showing the photos of the planets related to science. In this show, the children did not like the other viewers along with the other, if the video of this show Through the information of the planets is given. So the children also grew eagerly towards science and the curiosity and interest increased to other viewers too.In the star board show of Patala, information about science and planetary information is provided through video with digital music.

Nothing much to see. Only a show is there..even that is pathetic...wastage of time

A planetarium is a display museum. A Planetarium presents information related to astronomy. It has a domed ceiling. Today I will tell you about a wonderful planetarium. Indira Gandhi Planetarium is located in Lucknow. It s very well known for its Saturn shape building structure. It was laid by the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Hon.Late Veer Bahadur Singh on 28th February 1988. The inauguration of the Indira Gandhi Planetarium was done in 8th May 2003 by the Hon.Chief Minister of UP Ms.Mayawati.The Indira Gandhi Planetarium is also known as Taramandal Show. The visuals of astrology appear as marvels. The outstanding structure and design of the building are known worldwide for its uniqueness. The spectators feel thrilled to visit the planetarium as they get the opportunity to see the splendid visuals of the movement of The sun, moon, stars, planets..etc.

Very bad,old still projector,show like old bajawala only project still picture with shammi narang voice, still picture also old material without clearety.
Totally moneywestage,don't go,better to watch on discovery channel.
Bakar hai bhai , really .Batter to shut and upgrade

Planetarium in Lucknow at Nurullah Road, Near Daliganj Bridge

Just the seats are not good rest is very good especially the projector

It will bore u if u are not interested in stars and their myths. All u see IMAGES of stars and some satellites only .
Go if u like darkness (?).But outside of planeterium u enjoy.

Very good and highly underrated place... a nice place to learn new cool facts about our own solar system....... The movie is also very good.... If you want your child to fall in love with science and astronomy and astrophysics then this place is a must bring spot for you

Yet they are not using planetarium projector how it should be used it only seems as a audio show

If you are interested in solar system you will surely enjoy the show and the place too
Tickets@25

Show is good but the canteen needs to be work on. No maintenance. No Ac. Visit during evening is better

It's just ok ...nm so interesting ..just usual facts about earth that one must have studied in class 5

While on a family vacation in Lucknow it becomes must to visit the famous Indira Gandhi Planetarium, especially for your munchkins. This kid-friendly tourist attraction in Lucknow proffers some useful knowledge about a different aspect of astronomy through the exhibition, quit and various interesting shows. Located on the banks of Gomti River, the planetarium has a Saturn shape building that is an architectural pleasure in itself. The foundation of this one of the most-visited places in Lucknow was laid in the year 1988. Digital sound, lift ramp and projecting system makes Indira Gandhi Planetarium an altogether a different tourist site in Lucknow. Keeping the comfort of tourists into mind,

Thanks..

This is very ordinary place. The show is worst . ruined my 2 hrs here. Projector is not in proper working condition. Audio sound is much boring. Couldn't had wasted my time before like this. visit at your own risk. Nothing special to watch in gallery which is on ground floor. The only special thing here is the building of this auditorium.

Visited Sep2018- This was setup in 1980s and seems to have stood still since then. Although the show is informative, but you don't feel the pulse of science and fascination of astronomy here. The crowd also lets u down, crowded and dusty noisy street. No wonder it has few visitors now. Better visit the regional science centre in aliganj nicely maintained

Great experience , specially it's good for the school students . Give you plenty of knowledge.

Gd place for kids knowledge for planets and space history

Not maintained well... went here with my cousin.. the seat t the theatre was very bad

Good place.
show is awesome

The show was fine
It should be updated
One more thing i want to add
Police there don't let people go inside the picture gallery untill the show going to start
In my case they let me enter at 3:50 while my show timing was 4:00
As i am a student In ten minutes how i can scan the whole picture gallery and understand the nuances of the astronomy
Hope administration will take cognizance of it.

Very nice and clean place....

This place is good for kids who want to study plants and stars. Any body can visit the Indra Gandhi Planetarium..

Nice place , but lot of improvement needed. Need renovation and updation. They are showing same show which they were playing so many years back also. Video and audio quality also become so old. If you are free and for children time pass you can go otherwise nothing entertaining there , neither much knowledgeable thing there

The Planterium has made for the studies of The Univers, Solar system and Stars..You can come here for knowledge purpose and the most amazing thing is that, you can relies real sky night in day...!!!

Nice scaled replicas of spacecraft and launchers exhibited . Building is shaped in form of planet with rings. Daily 4 shows in dome shaped sky theatre. Monday closed.

It was an amazing experience. Looks Jupiter is seen on the front but is shaped like a Saturn with a ring. You can go with family, friends and children. If you come lucknow with children, then you should probably visit this planetarium.

nice place for family with kids. Technology is poor but good screen and script . very enjoying place .

Great Architecture.Built on the theme of Saturn .Nice models if various space missisions are kept which are controlled by buttons.Nice show but not well maintained.

Projector was not working.... All i could see was stars and few other images. Total waste of time for everyone.

Planetarium is a beautiful place to hang out here, you can roam with your children and enjoy it.

It is a great place to visit especially for kids. Various space and universe related movies are shown. Infrastructure is great. Good seats and air conditioned.
One can easily get lost in the endless mysteries of universe !!
Highly recommend it.

Awesome place to see models of satellites ..and other things ...

A visit to the Indira Gandhi Planetarium must be on your list of things to do in Lucknow, especially if you are a science enthusiast or traveling with your kids. The planetarium is designed in such a way that it resembles the planet Saturn, which makes it different from all other planetariums in the country. With its high-tech projection system and daily screenings that reveal the wonders of the universe, it is a great place to spend a day learning a thing or two about celestial bodies.

Timings: 10:00 am to 5:00 pm; closed on Mondays
Entry Fee: 25 per person

If you want to explore the stars and space you should definitely go and visit there. The projection show is the main attraction on the top floor. The building looks like Saturn.
