Sofia Sakai (Sakai City Education and Culture Center) Planetarium Sakai Starry Sky Museum, where a thousand dreams sparkle
The only planetarium in Sakai City.
There is a wide variety of programs available, including "family programs" that even babies can enjoy, and "healing programs" for adults, so you can enjoy it no matter how many times you come without getting bored.
All programs come with commentary, so it's recommended for kids who are starting to become interested in the starry sky!
There is also a weekly "astronomy observation event" where you can observe the actual stars using the 60cm reflecting telescope, the largest in Osaka Prefecture, on the rooftop!
