Princess Sirindhorn AstroPark

Free, interactive space and science museum with a planetarium and playground.

📍 Mae Rim

Other · from 80+ Kid-Friendly Cafes, Parks, and Playgrounds in Chiang Mai.

This place is a hidden gem for families, especially those with curious kids. The best part? General admission is free! While there are some paid experiences like the planetarium show (50 baht for adults, 30 baht for kids), you can easily spend hours exploring the interactive exhibits without spending a baht.

The museum is full of hands-on activities that explain basic scientific concepts, making it great for kids from about 4 years old up to teens. Fiona loves the interactive displays, though at her age, she needs a bit of help reaching some of them. There's also a playground outside, perfect for when the little ones need a break from all the learning.

For older kids, there are extra workshops with friendly teachers that you can sign up for on-site. The planetarium shows are a hit, but note that most are in Thai (check for occasional English sessions).

Pro tip: There's a cafe on-site when you need a snack break. And if you're here on a Saturday night, stick around for the free stargazing sessions - a magical experience for kids and adults alike!
