    A well done, entertaining, and fun experience. Call ahead of time to make sure the program meets your interest. The exhibits outside the theater need to be a bit more attention grabbing but they were more than I expected. Entrance to the theater need to be more organized and not haphazard.

    Gonbad mina is a great place and highly recommended if you are interested in astronomy. With its 3D Planetarium, Gonbad mina is an enjoyable as well as educative place to visit. Inspired by Persian architecture, the building and its architecture is very impressive and unique. The 3D cinema is worth a time and ticket are also very cheap, if you plan to go in a weekend (Iranian weekend: Thursday and Friday) maybe it is wise to buy the tickets ahead.

    When you are crossing Hemet highway, in the area of ā€‹ā€‹water and fire park, you will see a strange building that is like the sun. This strange building is the Mina dome of Tehran and the largest skyline in the Middle East. Mina dome is a structure with a very strange architecture in Tehran, which brings the architectural art of Iranian masters to the whole world. As you know, water and fire park is a theme park and has different parts. The Mina dome or Tehran's skyline is also located in a park called Manzomeh Shamsi Park and it is easily accessible from Tayet Bridge. This observatory is located in a complex of 1,850 square meters and is a great temple for lovers of astronomy, which is considered one of Tehran's entertainment places. It is not bad to know that the idea of ā€‹ā€‹building such a beautiful skyline was proposed for the first time in 1388. After 5 years of continuous work, finally in 2013, this large skyline was put into operation. If you pay attention to the design of Tehran Mina dome, you will find many similarities between this work and the Maragheh observatory. Engineers and designers have also pointed out that they were trying to use this famous dome in their design. The main building of Aseman Nama Tehran has two different applications of sky simulator and 3D hall. One of the innovations that made Tehran's Mina dome far more attractive is stargazing in the open air. Visitors can visit Mina Dome observation section for free every Tuesday from 19:00 to 21:00. Of course, visiting this section also depends on favorable weather conditions. In the stargazing section of Mina Dome, several telescopes and stargazing instruments are installed and allow visitors to see the stars of the night sky. If special astronomical events such as eclipses, eclipses, meteor showers or the appearance of one of the planets in the sky occur during this hour, you can watch this important event closely.

    I wish this was a real telescope so that astronomy enthusiasts could see real and live images of the globes, planets and stars through it.

  • 4/5 Hossein N. 7 years ago on Google ā€¢ 36 reviews
    It could be better by installing more relevant items outside showroom. Unfortunately many items descriptions are only in persian language and foreign tourists could not use it. The showroom is very clean and organized and the 2D and 3D stunning show takes 40 minutes but again only in persian language without any subtitle.

    Well equipped and professional instructors with enthusiasm to explain science in an easy way. The only weakness is the air conditioning of the planetarium hall.

    We went a few nights ago. Posting some replicas with detailed information that can be found on the net. And a telescope to put in the museum! At least they could have included a sky observation section. My movie playback was broken. In general, it had a very dead environment without any charm. . I don't know why they sell tickets for such a place
