This is such an amazing place to ignite curiousity and learn about science and astronomy for all ages! The astro park consists of observatory and planetarium, located against the breathtaking mountain range backdrop. We went there for the exhibit and planetarium show at 11am. The exhibit is clearly explained, interactive and has both Thai and English display. The planetarium show was also engaging. We would love to come back for the star watching activity which is open for public every Sat from Nov to May. Overall, this place exceeds our expectations and I would highly recommend it to every family with kids!

It's an interesting way to spend a couple of hours if you happen to pass by. Better for younger kids, but my teens managed to find some exhibitions that amused them. Entry is free to the exhibition. Will try to come back next time in the evening to see the stars.

This is a great place for kids and adults. We all think here is way better than the Planetarium in BKK. The full dome theater is great experience with one-price for both Thai and foreigner, 50baht for adult and 30baht for kids. The rest of …

New facilities with lots of activities this year. And the kids love the science square a lot!! It costs 100b for each session around 1 hour which is fair enough with great experience.

It’s open for walking and jogging in the morning (6:30-8:30) and evening (16:30-19:30). Can be a bit crowded on Saturday evenings but other than that this place is almost empty. Highly recommend for cloud spotting, evening sky is very spectacular here.
