The museum boasts Asia’s biggest planetarium. Housed under a striking 35-meter diameter golden dome, the planetarium can seat 325 people and performs its wizardry over a 180-degree semicircular screen with the help of an IMAX projector and ZEISS planetarium system. Seats are inclined at 25~30 degrees to make you feel as if you are up with the stars.

And telescopes, observatories the exhibits on the stars, the Milky Way and galaxies are located on the third floor. PDA guide services are also available.

Though a good place to while away an hour, there is a dearth of English-language content. More English-friendly attractions (at an extra charge) are the IMAX and 3D theatres.For a fun learning experience, the Taipei Astronomical Museum and nearby National Taiwan Science Education Center are nice choices for visitors to Shilin District.
