Kalpana Chawla Planetarium

A definite must visit for everyone. The planetarium is very interesting with interactive models... you can find your own weight in different planets.
The gardens offer an interactive fun zone and learning zone for planetary motions, lenses, gravity....related to physics and geography.... it makes it easy to understand motion of earth, moon and sun and various things that can be a little difficult to understand but when you see them in a practical representation..... it is easy... do visit it.

Kalpana Chawla Planetarium is situated on Kurukshetra-Pehowa Road near Jyotisar Tirth which is totally away from crowd, traffic and pollution of city.

The projects shown are planets positions in zodiacs, time yantras, weight on different planets, time in different cities of world. Puzzles and Quiz on Zodiacs and Universe are also present. Biography of First Aerospace Women Engineer of PEC, Chandigarh Kalpana Chawla is also shown with images and audio & video clips which is very inspiring for young generation.

The Astro - Park is the main focus of this planetarium. Various projects on light, time and universe theory are installed in the park.

The planetarium is spacious and well maintained.

The urinals and toilets are clean and odour free.

Sufficient parking space is available in front of main gate.

Staff is very cooperative and helpful.

DISAPPOINTMENT - Many services like 3D film show and canteen are not open after COVID-19 outbreak even when the situation is normal now and various doses of COVID vaccines are taken by citizens of India.

Hope The Review Helps !!!
