  • Online registration is not required and walk-in visitors are welcome, but limited to 20 persons per session only.
  • Only persons aged 15 years old and above will be admitted. Senior citizens are also allowed to come in as long as they're fully vaccinated. (Don't forget to bring your vaccination card.)

The National Museum Planetarium has made it their mission to disseminate astronomical information through shows, lectures, demonstrations, and exhibits. They upgraded their full dome projection of astronomical bodies in 2017 as part of their efforts to capture the interest of a new generation of viewers. Planetarium shows, however, are temporarily not available.

The National Art Gallery, Museum of Natural History, and Museum of the Filipino People reopened on June 19.

The National Planetarium is located between the Open Air Auditorium and the Japanese Garden at Luneta Park in Manila City. Entrance is at the back of the Chess Plaza. Visiting schedule is from Tuesday to Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. For updates, follow the National Museum of the Philippines.
