Kiev Planetarium, Astronomical center on Velyka Vasylkivska Street, Kyiv, Ukraine.

The central hall features a spherical dome measuring 23 meters in diameter, making it the second largest planetarium dome in Europe.

The planetarium first opened in January 1952 under the leadership of astronomer Serhiy Vsekhsviatskiy and moved to its current location in 1987.

The facility contains an astronomical school for children ages 6 to 11 and organizes regular educational lectures about space, geography, and natural sciences.

Visitors can attend daily shows at various times between 11:00 and 20:00, with standard tickets priced at 250 UAH for daytime sessions.

The planetarium uses fifteen synchronized projectors connected to a single Screenberry media server to display 6,500 stars from both hemispheres.
