Nice and relaxing place. The idea is great. We visited on Science Day, Feb28th, early in the morning and it was not crowded. Only one school group was there. They do have shows in their dome theatre. I have mentioned the different shows in the image below. Online ticket bookings are available as well as offline ticket purchase is available too. Many instruments/toys that are installed in the park are not working properly and require maintenance. There is ample space for free car parking. They also have drinking water stations in the open areas which is great. The dome theatre is well kept. Try avoiding seats E11, 12, F11, 12, D11, D12 as the structure comes in between your view. They do have clean bathrooms too. They have seating benches at the ticket counter waiting area as well as in the open gardens too. There is a small Hindu temple too, which I thought is nice.

The shows are both educational and engaging, explaining complex concepts in a way that’s easy for all age groups to understand. The 3D sky projections and visuals make the experience truly immersive, and the narration keeps you hooked from start to finish. The place is well-maintained, with informative exhibits about planets, satellites, and India’s achievements in space research.

The space show was very informative. The young students will surely enjoy it. The science park outside needs maintenance. You are always advised to book tickets in advance from BookMyShow and choose middle position.
