Thanks to Mr. Madarame-San, a true supporter of Israel, who has made a very generous contribution, a planetarium was built in Netanya! The donation, made though the Netanya Foundation, covers the construction of a 1,200 square meter building that will include a planetarium, different activity rooms, a meditation space, and an education center for visiting students from all over Israel.

A compound for entertainment and experiencing for the whole family, combining a touristic and an educational attraction that encourages inspiration, imagination and development of thinking in a variety of activities and for a variety of ages.
