It features a planetarium, 1.3 meter-diameter Hitomi telescope, and exhibits that let you observe the universe through models and videos.

夏休みの一日に、伺いました。子供さんが多くにぎやかではありました。
目的はプラネタリウムだったのですが、常設展示もいろいろな方向から天体などをとらえており
楽しめました。
小さいお子さんにはムツカシイ内容かもしれませんが・・・・・
プラネタリウムも、季節の夜空が楽しめ、普段は見えない自分の頭上の夜空が実はこんなに明るいものだと知ったものです

用事の途中で錦ヶ丘にある仙台市天文台に寄りました。ちょうど天文台まつりというイベントをやっていました。こどもが楽しめるところだと思います。
