See pass compatibility below ↓Overview & Visitor Introduction
The Hamburg Planetarium sits inside a converted 1915 water tower in the Stadtpark — an Art Deco landmark in its own right, repurposed as a planetarium since 1930. It's one of the oldest planetariums in the world still operating.
Unlike a museum with one flat admission, the planetarium sells tickets per individual show — prices below are the standard adult/reduced rate; some special or 3D programmes are priced differently.
