The Nakhon Phanom Science Center for Education is located on Chayangkul Road in the heart of Nakhon Phanom city, near educational institutions and major community areas. This center was established as a learning resource for science, astronomy, and technology for students, youth, and the general public. Inside, you'll find a planetarium that realistically recreates the night sky, exhibitions showcasing the solar system, stars, and natural phenomena, and hands-on learning activities that help visitors better understand scientific principles.

The center's atmosphere is ideal for outdoor learning, with zones for young children, skill-building experiments, and displays of modern media. It's perfect for students, families, and anyone interested in exploring science in a fun way. Furthermore, it's a popular educational tourist attraction in Nakhon Phanom, easily accessible from the city center, just a few minutes from the Mekong River and other important tourist attractions in the province.

The center is divided into several zones, including:
