There is a wide variety of programs available, including "family programs" that even families with babies can enjoy, and "healing programs" for adults, so you can enjoy it no matter how many times you go without getting bored.
All programs come with commentary, so it's recommended for kids who are starting to become interested in the starry sky!
There is also an "astronomy observation event" held every week, where you can observe real stars using the 60cm reflecting telescope, the largest in Osaka Prefecture, on the rooftop!
