Every Friday night, the general public is invited to gaze at the stars through the planetarium’s main telescope. Visitors from both the southern and northern hemispheres will be able to see stars that they’ve never seen before due to the observatory’s location.

Animal lovers will be thrilled to see that there is also an extensive amount of information offered about creatures such as pandas, lemurs and butterflies. In addition to the theatre and planetarium, this popular attraction also includes a simulation theatre, exhibition room and a classroom.

There is also a restaurant on site where you can take a break and get a bite to eat. To get here, catch the MRT and alight at Jurong East Station on the East West Line and walk for approximately 10 minutes to the planetarium. Parking is also available at $0.60 per hour.
