Planetanya is one of Netanya’s most unique and inspiring attractions, offering visitors an engaging journey through science, astronomy, nature, and culture. Opened in 2016, the center was established through a collaboration between the Municipality of Netanya and Japanese philanthropist Rikiyahiro Madarame, with the goal of making science and space exploration accessible to all ages.
The complex features a state-of-the-art digital planetarium, an interactive science garden, a Japanese garden, ecological ponds, changing exhibitions, educational workshops, lectures, astronomy programs, and telescope observation events throughout the year.
Visitors can explore the wonders of the universe through immersive planetarium shows, hands-on exhibits, and family-friendly activities designed to spark curiosity and learning. Planetanya regularly hosts special events, holiday programs, guided tours, science camps, and educational activities for schools and groups.
Whether you are a science enthusiast, a family looking for an enriching day out, or a visitor interested in discovering a different side of Netanya, Planetanya offers an unforgettable experience for all ages.
