Also right next to the botanical gardens So you can make a day if it. Make sure you book if you go to one of the events. As they are usually sold out.
After reading the reviews, we were left really disappointed by the dated information given. That said I can only comment on the children's films. The night sky talk was the best part. Not worth going unless you go into the films and they are expensive.
We go to the Planetarium every year or so. We love it - great to visit as a family or couple as the first part of an afternoon out, especially if the weather is a bit rainy. Second part of the afternoon is up to the Mount Cootha Look Out a few minutes up the road for ice cream, coffee...

Interesting place to vist as it near to Mount Coo Tha Look out area just a few minutes drive you will get to reach this place I like the little statue of the little boy looking up.
Interesting, informative, great for families, don't be late they will start without you! Well worth a visit, come early and check out the Botanical gardens and the lookout at Mt Cootha, both of these are free (fee for Planetarium) but a fantastic day out, won't disappoint.
We visited the Brisbane Planetarium in December 2012. While there, we decided to see the film about the search for life in the universe. We were terribly dissapointed because narrator Harrison Ford mainly told us that scientists are still looking for evidence - we already knew that.
The show was good, but what was even better was the tour of the night sky given by a member of the planetarium's staff after the show itself.
Great atmosphere and very educational. Great place to take the kiddies and is well suited to all ages. If you havent been, take the time to visit.
