Kerala State Science & Technology Museum & Priyadarsini Planetarium

I recently visited the Kerala State Science and Technology Museum, and it was a captivating experience. The museum showcases a diverse array of exhibits that beautifully blend education with entertainment.

From interactive displays on physics and biology to insightful exhibits on Kerala's technological advancements, the museum offers something for everyone. It's a fantastic place for both children and adults to explore and learn.

The staff members are knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to answer questions and engage visitors in discussions about science and technology.

The museum's layout is well-designed, making it easy to navigate through different sections and delve deeper into various scientific concepts. Moreover, the museum's commitment to promoting scientific literacy and curiosity is evident throughout.

Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the Kerala State Science and Technology Museum. It's an enriching experience that sparks curiosity and inspires learning in a fun and engaging way.

The planetarium alone is well worth the visit. Add the various galleries for STEM students this becomes a must visit spot during your trip to trivandrum!

The only down side is the lack of a snack bar or restaurant which would be a welcome addition after exploring the massive campus and taking in the planetarium show.

Highly recommend buying Planetarium tickets in advance and arriving at least 10 minutes before the requested time.

Parking was not an issue when we went, the compound itself has ample parking spots.

Best place of historical importance, in museum many models of science related equipments, we can work on that machine, not only that play on it, words can't express, you have to visit with family and observe the machinery and tools, mechanism behind each machinery is written shortly,in the same premises planetarium is there,3 in Malayalam shows and 1 English show is there,in that beautiful visuals, explained about planets and stars, space.surroundings neat and tidy, beautifully arranged garden,lawn, anyhow visual treat,l gone for one day tour with my school students,shady place is there to have snacks and lunch,must keep the premises clean, children enjoyed much, nice tourist spot for knowledge and enjoyment.

Although I have been here before, but when I went this time, I took my family with me because my son was with me and I liked it very much.
It's a place loved by science and technology-loving adults and kids alike, and you'll never miss it.

Nice place to have a day visit with your kids. There’s surprisingly lot to see. Though many exhibits were not maintained and many scientific models are not working. It would have been brilliant, if those exhibits are working and there they engaged any guide to take the kids to the echelons of Science. The 3D Theatre is not of top notch. However the planetarium show was great with superb facilities. There is a outdoor park for the kids to enjoy their time. A canteen is also functioning in the campus with reasonably good food. Definitively worth a visit, with kids.

Monday is Holiday.

Its a truly unique and inspiring experience. Especially the theatre which gives the viewers a 360-degree view of the stars and planets. The show itself is usually a combination of live narration, video projections, and special effects that transport viewers to other worlds and galaxies. One of the best things about a planetarium show is that it's a great activity for people of all ages. Whether you're a curious kid, an amateur astronomer, or simply someone who loves a good show, you're sure to be impressed by the stunning visuals and informative narration. Don't miss out on the opportunity to explore the wonders of the universe!🫡👍🏼

A brilliant place for a day outing for kids. They have a full planetarium visit, 3d theatre, different educational video screening, planetarium movie show, and sound & light show (in the evenings after sunset). The sessions are in mix of English and Malayalam. You may have to enquire about the show and show timings if you want to attend a specific session.

We had a pleasant experience with our kid. Much recommended. This facility may not have the scale as ones in Chennai or Kolkata, but it is certainly well maintained and managed. The reception staff is courteous and comfortable to explain matters in Malayalam, English, Tamil and Hindi (may be more but I noticed these languages).

The campus offers RO water for visitors and has a clean toilet. They have limited parking space for vehicles.

Very nice experience. Courteous staff and security. Authorities need to spend a little on maintenance of the items in display at physics demo area. The 3D theatre needs some more investment. New chairs, better air conditioning, sound system etc. Also, some science students from nearby colleges in the city could be roped in as volunteers to explain the different scientific stuff to the student visitors.

We all cousins went to see the planterium ... Auditorium seats were fine ... fully air conditioned. Prohector quality can be improved.

Must visit. Very informative. Good for children who study in school. Good parking area, clean premises, staff behaved politely.

Very bad experience, no hygiene bad maintenance and very bad behaviour of staff, it's not good for children because the equipment are totally rusted it's chance to toxic,

It's a place for space enthusiasts. Very good place for students and also adults who can know more about solar system and more.

Priyadarshini Planetarium, Thiruvananthapuram is one of the most versatile planetariums in the country. The main GM-11 star field projector here can project almost all the constituents of the visible universe. It can also simulate the star-studded night sky over any location on the earth, on any day up to 12,500 years back or 12,500 years into the future. The planetarium will be closed on Mondays.

Important place to show children. Everyone should come. See our universe and planets in 3D. Very beautiful. We can see and experience the sights that take us to another level. Very cheap ticket price. For half an hour it was like being in another world. A must see for everyone. A place where no one is discouraged. Very good.
