Tashkent City Park and Planetarium

Tashkent City Park and Planetarium form part of the modern Tashkent City district, a recreational and business development on Uqchi Street in the Shaykhontohur District of Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The area is built around landscaped promenades, musical and lit fountains, ornamental gardens, restaurants and cafes, and sits beside the Hilton Tashkent City hotel and glass towers. The planetarium, a domed building in the park, offers shows about the night sky, space and astronomy, with seating under a projection dome. Visitors typically spend 1.5 to 2 hours strolling the promenades, watching the fountains, eating at a restaurant terrace and attending a planetarium session. The park is open around the clock and free to enter, while planetarium tickets cost roughly 30,000 to 60,000 UZS; show times and languages should be checked locally. The atmosphere changes sharply after dark, when lighting, fountains and music draw local families, couples and groups of friends, and the evening hours from sunset onward are the busiest. Daytime is quieter and hotter in summer, with limited shade in the open plazas. The most photographed views are the fountain basins with the tower buildings behind, particularly at blue hour. Attractions in the park, including rides and event spaces, are mainly active in the evening and at weekends, and some features may operate seasonally. Getting there is easiest by Yandex Go taxi, or on foot in about 15 minutes from Alisher Navoi metro station. The park pairs with a visit to the Old City or Chorsu, since it is a short drive away and gives a contrast between historic and contemporary Tashkent.
