Nehru Planetarium is frequently recommended by commenters as a fun, budget-friendly stop, and several commenters put it in family itineraries alongside Cubbon Park, the aquarium and other nearby museums. One visitor who paid for a show felt it was worth the money; another found the ticket queues long, the science park poor and the show dated and too technical.
