Fabulous presentation of the sun, stars, planets and how they have evolved -- all inside a planetarium that broadcasts the show on the ceiling.

This is a great museum for science and biology fans and I have few complaints about the facility itself (I would like to have seen more hands-on exhibits for kids).
