Pitchayapat Charoensap
★★★★★a year agoReally good, the ticket price is incredibly cheap, especially considering how much we learned from both the festival and the sky show. The sky show itself is about 40 minutes long. There's no assigned seating, so I recommend arriving early to choose a back row seat for a better view. The food at the canteen is also very affordable, I got seafood fried rice for only Thb 50. They also have street coffee, no AC
Dima Abramov
★★★★★3 months agoVery educational. This center has 4 building with 4 concepts or topics per building (one of them is the Planetarium but under construction). I tried building number 2 and 3, was very informative. Number 3 was about green energy. 50 bhat entrance fee.
