The Kiev Planetarium opened in January 1952. In 1987, a new building of the Kyiv Planetarium was completed and opened at 57/3 Chervonoarmiyska Street (now Velyka Vasylkivska). The planetarium still operates at this address. The Zeiss IV Planetarium was purchased and installed. Part of the projection equipment (projectors, "car" device, "sea-snow" projector, etc. ) moved to a new building.

The Kyiv Planetarium has a large lecture hall with a hemispherical dome 23 meters in diameter and 11.5 meters high, which is the second largest in Europe, and the building itself has a special architectural style with open space, and a unique architectural feature - a spiral ramp, symbolizing constant development and moving forward.
During 2016, the Kyiv Planetarium was technically re-equipped, the Front Pictures DX12 software and hardware complex was installed, and a synthesized system of this complex with the Zeiss IV Planetarium optical and mechanical device and a digital projection system were created.

The Planetarium is a scientific and cognitive center that spreads astronomical knowledge among those who want to experience the magic of space. Today it is a special combination of a specially designed building and a synthesized system consisting of an optical-mechanical device "Planetarium" and a digital projection system that allows you to display on the screen as a hemisphere (dome) images of stars, planets, satellites, comets of the solar system and any -what information about the Earth and the Universe with the visual perception of knowledge in various fields of science.
