Planetarium | Denmark is a space and science attraction on Gl. Kongevej in Copenhagen, with interactive exhibitions and films screened on a large dome. The dome show is the main draw: its immersive visuals take you through space, while the exhibits add hands-on ways to explore astronomy and space exploration. Choose a film in your preferred language and leave time for both parts of the visit. The planetarium also has a distinctive geometric design and is accessible to wheelchair users.
Dome films and exhibitions
The planetarium combines film screenings with interactive exhibitions about astronomy, space exploration and natural science. Its dome screen gives films a broad, immersive format. Screenings include subjects connected with space, history and nature, so check the current programme when choosing a show.
The exhibition gives you a chance to explore at your own pace. Interactive displays cover space and exploration, and an earth model is among the items noted by visitors. Allow roughly 45 to 60 minutes for the exhibits, then add around 35 minutes for a film. If you want to do both, plan the order around the screening time rather than leaving the film until near closing.
Planning your screening
Films are available in English and Danish. Book a screening in your preferred language in advance, or use the audio guide if you need one. Leave enough time before the show to see the exhibition; arriving only a short time before closing can leave too little time for both.
The venue has a lift to the theatre, wheelchair-accessible seating and an accessible entrance and restroom. Advance booking is recommended. A restaurant and shop are also on site.
