Why this place

The Iziko Planetarium is a rewarding indoor stop for curious children and adults around Company’s Garden. Its dome presents digital journeys through astronomy and science, giving you a different sort of Cape Town view when the mountain is hidden by cloud. The programme changes, so pick a show for the interests and ages in your group rather than expecting a continuous exhibition that you can enter at any moment.

Book against the current programme and arrive in time to get seated before your show begins. The building’s opening hours are wider than the screening slots, and school-holiday schedules can differ. Combine your booking with a garden walk and check separately if you want to visit the South African Museum. This is the Planetarium in the city centre; the Observatory neighbourhood is elsewhere in Cape Town.
