Sharjah Astronomy Centre and Planetarium

The Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences and Technology offers a science-focused visitor experience with planetarium presentations, astronomy displays and educational exhibits. It is a useful indoor attraction for families, students and anyone interested in planets, stars and space exploration.

The active option currently shows AED 30 per adult. Planetarium programmes, language, show times and access to individual exhibits can vary, so confirm exactly what the ticket includes before payment.

What Visitors Can Experience

The planetarium uses a dome environment to present astronomy topics through projected visuals and guided programmes. Depending on the schedule, visitors may learn about the solar system, stars, galaxies, space missions or astronomical observation. Exhibition areas can provide further context through models and interactive displays.

Planetarium presentation when included
Astronomy and space-science exhibits
Indoor educational family activity
Programme-dependent demonstrations
Suitable for students and curious travellers

Families can pair the visit with Al Noor Island or Arabia’s Wildlife Centre for another educational Sharjah experience.

Plan Around the Show Schedule

A general admission time may not guarantee a seat in every planetarium show. Ask about the specific programme, language, start time and required arrival time. Late entry may not be permitted once a presentation begins.

Allow around one to two hours, depending on the exhibits and confirmed show. Children should be supervised, and guests should keep phones silent inside presentations. Photography, food and drinks may be restricted in certain areas.

Usually Not Included

Transport unless selected
Special workshops or private programmes
Telescope sessions unless confirmed
Food, souvenirs and personal expenses

Ask our travel team

A planetarium presents astronomy topics using a dome and projected visuals. The programme and language depend on the confirmed show.

This page covers a visit to the Sharjah astronomy centre and a planetarium programme when explicitly included in the selected option. It is not a Dubai desert stargazing tour.

The attraction described here is in Sharjah. Confirm the venue entrance and meeting point on the final voucher; an outdoor desert observation location is not included by default.

Prior astronomy knowledge is not generally needed to appreciate introductory displays. Ask which presentation suits your interests, language and age group.

The visit may include astronomy and space-science exhibits and a scheduled planetarium presentation. Access depends on the option, programme and venue schedule.

Families should confirm the age guidance, programme language and any minimum age for the chosen show. Children need appropriate adult supervision.

Two adults can request the available admission option. This is an educational venue visit; private or romantic arrangements are not included unless expressly confirmed.

A telescope session, observation workshop or private programme is included only if specifically stated on the selected package and final voucher.

Follow the venue signs and staff instructions. Photography and phone use may be restricted during planetarium presentations or in particular exhibit areas.

Wear comfortable clothing suitable for a public indoor attraction and comfortable walking shoes. A desert activity outfit is not required by this admission description.

Bring your confirmed voucher and any identification requested in the booking instructions. Keep your phone silent during presentations.

Use the start time and arrival instructions on your confirmed voucher. A general admission time does not automatically reserve a seat in every show, and late entry may be restricted.

Allow roughly one to two hours according to the planned exhibits and confirmed show. Ask for the programme duration before arranging onward travel.

No outdoor stargazing session should be assumed. The planetarium uses projected presentations; telescope observations require a separately confirmed programme.
