Novo Theatre, Dhaka

Overview

Novo Theatre is a public planetarium on Bijoy Sarani Avenue in Dhaka's Tejgaon area. It features educational shows projected onto a curved dome ceiling alongside basic space science exhibits. Travelers interested in astronomy and planetary science visit to watch scheduled presentations about the solar system and the universe.

Getting There

Located north of central Dhaka, the site is accessible by taxi, auto-rickshaw, or ride-hailing services. A trip from central districts such as Motijheel or Kawran Bazar usually takes 20 to 45 minutes, depending heavily on city traffic.

Visiting Time

Plan to spend roughly 1 to 2 hours on-site. This is enough time to watch one full planetarium presentation and view the supporting scientific displays.

When to Visit

The facility often draws large crowds of families and school groups, especially on weekends and holidays. Visiting during weekday mornings or early afternoons generally offers a quieter experience. For pleasant travel across Dhaka, the dry, cooler months from November to February are recommended.
