Planetarium and Digital Dome Prices
| Category | SA / SADC (with ID) | International |
|---|---|---|
| Adults | R100 | R150 |
| Children 5–18 | R60 | R150 |
| Students & pensioners | R60 | R150 |

The Planetarium Is a Separate Ticket
Standard Iziko museum admission does not include the Planetarium. At R100 against R60 for South African adults, it costs roughly two-thirds more than a standard museum entry and must be bought on its own.
Under-5s Are Not Free Here
Children under 5 enter free at Iziko’s standard museums, but the Planetarium is the exception: children aged 2 and over who occupy a seat pay the full child rate. This catches out families who expect the usual under-5 concession.
Free Entry on Fridays
South African students and pensioners enter free on Fridays with valid ID under the Iziko network policy.
