(Translated by Google) Sendai City Observatory. Located near the outlet of Nishikigaoka, there are quite a few parking lots and it is easy to park. I think it's a good place for parents and children as well as a date spot. Check if the admission fee is HP. → It depends on the entrance style. Elementary school students in Sendai City will be free if they bring a "Dokodemo Passport" distributed at school. * It is pointed out that you must bring it with you and that you have not written your name or school name. The inside is quite large, and if you have a little interest in the sky or space, you can enjoy it. There are everything from easy-to-understand to maniac, so I wonder if a wide range of people can enjoy it. Events are held quite often. There is also a coffee shop in the park where you can rest if you get tired. The souvenir corner also sells previously buzzed candies and space food. (Original) 仙台市の天文台。 錦が丘のアウトレット近くにあり、駐車場もかなりの台数があり停めやすい。 親子でも、デートスポットとしても結構いいと思う。 入園料はHPか確認。→入場スタイルにて色々違う。 仙台市の小学生は、学校で配られる『どこでもパスポート』というものを持参すると無料になる。※必ず持参必須＆氏名・学校名などを書いていないと指摘される。 中はけっこう広く、空や宇宙に興味がちょっとでもあれば結構楽しめる。 わかりやすいものからマニアックなものまであるので幅広い層が楽しめるかと。 けっこうな頻度でイベントなども実施。 園内には喫茶コーナーもあり疲れたら休めるのも良い。 お土産コーナーには以前バズった飴や宇宙食なども売っている。

Visited this observatory on 2020/12/26. Was able to watch the 18:00 hrs musical show in the planetarium area. ( ¥1000) However, we were disappointed that all the other parts of this place were already closed. We did call the reception during daytime and they confirmed beforehand that the observatory will be open till 9:30 PM. This, as per our understanding, was not a clear communication at all. The one on the call didn’t mention that only a single part of the observatory (the last planetarium show at 18:00)would be open. (Which they should have informed clearly). We felt it a waste of effort because we came from the Tohoku region, made a stop at Sendai just to watch the observatory, and then go towards Tokyo. These days,due to Covid or any other circumstances, timings do differ. This is absolutely normal. But a clear communication is expected from the reception desk at least. I give this a 2/5 rating only because of this management related issues.

The movie was so fantastic but all story was explained in Japanese. The astronomy exhibition also in Japanese. It was so difficult to understand. You can go here by bus from Sendai Station at bus stop number 63.

Beautiful, educational exhibits! Just so you know there are no English translations. I had fun and used Google translate 😅 it is definitely worth your time. It also has a nice planetarium show. Not in English but I enjoyed it regardless.

(Translated by Google) It is a facility that both children and adults can enjoy. The staff will be the moderator when watching the planetarium, but the theme is different for each staff and you will not get bored no matter how many times you go. However, the facility itself is not large, so it takes 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes to see all the exhibits and planetarium. The parking lot is free, and there is a little distance from the parking lot to the entrance and there is little shade, so it is hard in midsummer. The toilet is large and there is no problem even with small children. However, since it will be an academic exhibition, preschoolers may like it or not. If you go from Sendai around noon on Sunday, the nearby shopping malls will be crowded and you will be in a traffic jam. (Original) 子供も大人も楽しめる施設です。プラネタリウム鑑賞時に職員さんの司会が入りますが職員さん毎にテーマが異なり何度行っても飽きません。ただし、施設自体は大きくないので展示物とプラネタリウム全部見て1時間〜一時間30分と言う所でしょうか。 駐車場は無料、駐車場から入口まではやや距離が有り日陰が少ないので真夏は辛いです。 トイレは広くて小さなお子さん連れでも問題無しです。ただ、学問的な展示になるので未就学児の場合、好き嫌い分かれそうです。 日曜日の昼頃は仙台方面から行くと近くのショッピングモールが混むので渋滞に当たります。

Nice place to learn astronomy while having fun with the whole family. They let me saw the sunflare and faraway star via telescope. ✨ The surrounding view is also beautiful.

A good place for both children and adults. There are various planetarium activities. We watched the today’s stars in the sky. It was very excited.

You can get free entrance if you are international student, as long as you could show your residence and student card. Unfortunately, all information displayed here in Japanese language, so you can't understand well if you're not good in Japanese languange

Free if you have a student ID

Nice place.

Super friendly staff!!
