Melaka Planetarium

Strategically nestled in the heart of Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC), the Melaka Planetarium is built with profound fingerprints of the Islamic architecture and a landing UFO. Melaka Planetarium, also known as Melaka Planetarium Adventure Science Centre, was opened for public in August 10, 2009 and is officiated by the Chief Minister of Malacca, Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam.
Melaka Planetarium offers visitors a glimpse into the magnificent cosmos, and the history of astronomy and astronomers through its cutting-edge technology. It exhibits various exciting attraction such as the Spacecraft Model, Challenger Simulator, Solar System, Galaxy Gateway, Satelite, Hubble Space Telescope and many more.
