Last month, we saw the free entrance post from National Museum’s Planetarium in their FB page. Finally, we were able to visit the place last April 7, 2017.
These are our observations during our visit: 1. Be early and be prepared to fall in line. Our initial plan was to watch 2 shows. We came around 12:30 and was expecting to catch the 1pm show but to our surprise, there was already a long queue. We were in line until 2:30pm.
2. They can only accommodate 200 pax/show as per advised over the phone. So come extra early. Most of the visitors are college students. Bring umbrellas and fans.
3. Only children 5 years old and above can enter and watch the show. When we were there, we saw younger children who were not allowed inside.
4. No cameras allowed inside. All of our things were left outside in their baggage counter.
Despite the long wait, it was worth it. The kids had a great time. Hopefully, we could go back again to see the other shows.
