If my memory still serves me right, it is not my first time to visit the Philippines' National Planetarium. I love the stars, the universe, the galaxies, so I could remember snippets from this magical place. It has been long years ago, but I still could recall that museum tour filled with space murals and that film showing about the planets during our elementary educational trip. And so! I am grateful that Dada and I went here to this interactive museum to relive my grade-school memories and to tour the boyfriend because he missed half of his childhood for not being able to come here before 💖 The National Museum Planetarium, also called NM Planetarium, National Planetarium, or Pambansang Planetaryo is a short yet concise walkthrough about astronomy. It has been sharing innovative information since 1975 and was relaunched last 2019 after having some renovations by the National Museum of the Philippines. Now bigger and better, its galleries feature astronomical myths, beliefs and diorama representation of the solar system, major constellations, as well as well-known astronomists and more. Touring around the galleries is free of charge, but there are admission fees if you want to watch educational and entertaining shows about the world and beyond. Yes, the National Planetarium still provides shows like A Planet for Goldilocks, Hayabusa: Back to the Earth, and Journey to a Billion Suns in their much-improved auditorium. Similar to what I mentioned in my other National Museum blog post, guests are asked to register first and surrender their bags and carry-ons before entering the auditorium and galleries. Food and drinks are not allowed; as firearms, cigarettes, and illegal drugs are also prohibited. Feel free to take photos as many as you want! But, flash photography and videography? No-no! Observe silence and cleanliness too, and make sure to follow the museum rules and regulations for a smooth and enjoyable tour around this 16-meter dome structure. The 11/11 couple had been planning this museum tour. Supposedly, we would go here last year, after the National Museum of Natural History. The promised plan was to hit two museums in one day, just like when we went to the first two National Museums last 2017. However, Natural History is so big! And very informational! So, we spent almost a day there -- roaming and reading (of course) and taking photos (because hey, it is dubbed as the most Instagrammable National Museum in the Philippines). And so! We are truly happy that finally, Dada and I were here! Although we did not catch any show since we arrived late afternoon already, we have plans naman to go here again with the chemist friends. And besides, we had fun at the galleries and still accomplished our goal anyway... We have completed the National Museums already, woohoo! Uh-huh, aside from this and National Museum of Natural History which I posted last year, Dada and I already set our feet to the National Museums of Anthropology and Fine Arts. Maybe I posted it in my Tumblr, but I am sure it isn't blogged here yet because I started filling this blog at late 2018. So, soon! Surely, we would revisit those two museums soon, too 💖 National Museum Planetarium Rizal Park, Padre Burgos Avenue, Ermita, Manila Entrance fee for galleries: Free Entrance fee for film viewing: Students: PhP 30; Senior Citizens and PWD: PhP 40; Adults: PhP 50 Operating Hours: 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, Tuesday to Sunday
