📖

Full description

The planetarium of the Royal Observatory of Belgium screens films about the universe on a 23-metre dome overhead. Visitors say children enjoyed it and found staff friendly, and some reached it as a surprise detour near the Atomium.

Experiences vary with the film on offer: one reviewer was disappointed by a sea-life film that was not made for dome projection, so check what is showing before buying tickets. Entry is budget-friendly, sessions are around an hour and a quarter, and booking is recommended.

It suits families and science-minded visitors, mainly in daytime hours.

Reviews

The kids loved our visit to the Planetarium near the Atomium. We were very lucky to have the entire show to ourselves, as we were the only family there for that session. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the show was both fun and interesting. It was a memorable experience for the whole family.
