Planetania. Netanya Planetarium. We booked a tour for 10:00 today for 2 parents and 7 kids aged 5 to 16. The place was donated by a Japanese donor, which explains the Japanese garden, bonsai trees, and flag. (The last time that I was there was actually at a Japanese festival with the older kids long ago BC, before coronavirus.) There are teenagers who are your guides at various stops. They explain at each of about 8 stations about chemistry, physics, or astronomy. One of the stops is a short movie inside the planetarium. Each activity is exactly timed and the guide promptly takes you to your next stop. It is appropriate for young kids as well. My kids especially liked the planetarium movie and the outdoor science garden which teaches about energy, sound and other science stuff. For some of the activities we would have liked more time. Book tickets in advance. Afterwards we went to Ikea for lunch, which was enjoyed by all, plus a walk through all of the furniture displays there. Cost was 45 shekel per person for Planetania. Highly recommended.

Wasted 275 shekel Came specially , but found the highly recommended "x box " type activity was not available. There was a comics sadna - very nice but not worth an hours drive to get to. There were no ice creams/Kartivs left in the shop at 3pm No where to sit when waiting for the film upstairs. Garden was great.

The expectations were much higher than experience we've got. Small place with short movie about the space and beautiful Japanese Garden.

Horrible horrible place for anyone who’s above 13. The activities are built in a way which force you to stay as much as the whole day. I don’t recommend to go here at all. Just go to the Planetarium in Tel Aviv or go to The Clore Garden of Science.

Very enthusiastic and nice guide but there were many attractions that were rather boring. The movie was good but the rest of it was it geared for kids and it was really long. If you don't live in Netanya I wouldn't suggest coming here. But if you have nothing to do for the day then it's a decent activity

Planetarium is very clean and organized. There are a wealth of activities to learn for a wide variety of ages. Our family had a great time, I just felt like our guides were rushing us to stay on an extremely strict schedule that didn't allow us to absorb and enjoy what we were being taught.

Lovely staff Beautiful planetarium In my opinion, the price is expensive and the activity is limited

The guides are very nice, but I expected much more from a Planetarium. We came with young children and expected some basic space related explanations. Half was space related with some photos and movies from YouTube. No explanation about the solar system. Some basic physics explanations. The "planetarium room" was very nice, but not organized in an interesting way (or interesting subject - water in different locations in space)

tha address sd. ben gurion 168 is incorrect

We visited an activity in Sukkot - Habib, there are installations in the yard that demonstrate scientific forces - which my little ones enjoyed the most. The planetarium is lovely, the workshops are lovely

The best planetarium in Israel. Also great telescope observations and lots of other things to do. Loved it.

We keep coming back, this time with his class. When we go as a family we aim for hollidays with special activities which they have regularly. Always fun.

How many are your deeds, God, how deep are your thoughts

A really charming place with guides who will answer any question. An interesting place to learn about space

Very nice place, well managed ❤️ The children had a great time.

We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the program at Planetanya. The young man who explained the outside exhibit and stargazing app was not only knowledgeable but held his own with the children and adults!! The planetarium show was new and riveting. Would love to take our grandkids there soon

A stunning place, everyone enjoyed it, from adults to a little baby girl.. an interesting, fun experience and simply highly recommended

Was a great experience.

Meh. The film was allright , the garden too.

Would have loved to have visited the Planetarium but the horrible people working in the office made it virtually impossible. They are rude and unreasonable, unfortunately. Very disappointed.
