Anyone who has grown up in Bengaluru would sure have a story or two to share about their visits to the Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium. Over the decades, the Planetarium has been a favourite among schools and families who wish to introduce their children to the fun world of Science. It is the perfect setting for children to witness Science in motion and learn about the fundamental scientific principles, all in a child’s play. They can interact with the many exhibits in the Science Park, or take a trip to the stars with one the regular shows on the various planets of the Solar System, and the history of the universe as we know it.
Adding to its list of fun and immersive experiences, the Planetarium now hosts an extensive range of AR experiences too. With the help of FlippAR Go, Bengaluru’s very own AR travel app, you can now bring the showcases and posters to life with a simple scan.
