Tainan Astronomical Education Area - Tainan City

Great

Good!!

Daughter disappointed. Many planet exhibits not working or poor visibility.

Educational！ 3D cinemas make everyone easy to know Astronomy and advanced 3D technology makes the Scenes so real and impressed! Awesome!!!

great place to visit Follow me at Youtube YTC~ CHORLips

Great place to learn about solar system and space. Also, the best 3D video to explain about the Space I have ever seen

Great exhibition, nice mountain view as well.

Every Saturday they have an evening planet-gazing session where visitors are invited to use the two powerful telescopes in the observatory. It's a truly amazing experience to see the craters of the moon and the satellites of Jupiter. You have to make a little mental adjustment to truly appreciate what you are looking at because in 2020, popular culture is saturated with CGI images of outer space and everyone can easily access images of the surface of Mars from the rover. Through the telescopes you can only see the moon the size of a quarter and Jupiter the size of a green pea. It's a little underwhelming. That's when you have to remind yourself that it's not CGI - it's the planet reflecting the light of the sun going straight into the telescope and into your eye. It's as "real" as it gets. Our guide was super helpful and engaging. The entire session was very educational. There's a little side story -- I wrote to the planetarium on the early hours of Friday asking if they still run the Saturday star-gazing session. The director herself called me Friday afternoon because she worried that I'd miss the Saturday session. She explained that the weather would be good and what we would expect to see. She was just super nice. From that brief phone conversation, it is obvious that she cares deeply about engaging the public, and she's thrilled to share her love for astronomy with us.
