PIA Planetarium, Lahore

PIA Planetarium is an educational facility with a dome structure designed for astronomy shows and celestial displays to visitors. The building sits near Chauburji with a retired aircraft on display in the adjacent park.

Pakistan International Airlines built this facility in the 1980s to promote astronomy education and learning. The project expanded on the success of their earlier planetarium in Karachi.

The facility serves people who want to learn about space and astronomy through interactive programs and presentations. Visitors experience how the place brings together scientific learning with community activities.

The facility is located near Chauburji and can be reached by foot or public transport from the city center. Plan enough time for astronomy shows and to explore the adjacent park area.

The grounds display a retired Boeing aircraft from Pakistan International Airlines that now serves as an exhibition piece. This combination of aviation and astronomy creates an unusual overlap between two scientific fields.
