London Planetarium

Located next to Madame Tussaud's, the planetarium explores the mysteries of the stars and the night sky. The most recent show starts with a spaceship of travelers forced to leave their planet when a neighboring star explodes. Accompanying them on their journey, the audience travels through the solar system, visiting its major landmarks and witnessing spectacular cosmic activity. There are also several hands-on exhibits that relate to planets and space. For example, you can see what shape or weight you'd be on other planets, and you can hear a recorded Stephen Hawking talk about mysterious black holes.

Open: Daily from 10am, with shows beginning at 12:20pm (10:30am on Sat-Sun) and last show at 5pm.Admission £6.50 ($10) adults, £5.10 ($8.15) seniors, £4.35 ($6.95) children 5-17.Tube: Baker St.
