The Brisbane Planetarium
The Sir Thomas Planetarium features Cosmic Sky dome, display zone, mini theatre, observatory and planetarium shop- perfect for Brisbane kids of all ages, especially space buffs! Awesome displays and theatre presentations- go to their website for details and better still it is right next to the botanical gardens for a lovely (and cheap) afternoon out with the kids.
While the planetarium itself is free, the shows that are conducted do cost a small amount.
