    (Translated by Google) I highly recommend the dome functions. My husband and I went to the Mayan and Mexica calendar presentation. We loved it, the place is very nice, clean and the dome is in excellent condition; I suggest arriving about 20 minutes before and bring cash since they do not accept cards, also consider that reservations through social networks are not answered very often, so it is better to speak or arrive earlier.

Nos encantó, el lugar es muy bonito, limpio y el domo tiene excelentes condiciones; sugiero llegar unos 20 minutos antes y llevar efectivo ya que no aceptan tarjetas, también considerar que las reservas por redes sociales no las contestan muy seguido así que mejor es hablar o llegar antes.

    Muy bonito lugar; con muchas actividades y talleres para toda la familia, los expositores estan muy bien preparados y son muy dinamicos y gentiles, tienen avtividades diurnas y nocturnas instalaciones novedosas y bien cuidadas y precios muuuy accesibles. Muy recomendable para conocer acerca de la historia de Quintana Roo.

    I have gone a couple of times to the Planetarium. It is definitely the smallest planetarium I have ever seen. However, it is nice and the star show is very good. I also went to see a band play "Pink Floyd" and although the auditorium was very small, the ambiance was great. It needs upkeeping.

    We went to an evening show in the planetarium. Before the movie they showed a projection of the night sky for that night and explained different constellations. Movie afterwards was good, and they ended by showing a weird short film that consisted of zipping along a Mobius strip, accompanied by wild harpsichord music. Fun though!

    Disappointed, Don’t waste your precious holiday time and money going there, took a taxi and the driver didn’t know about it, he knew the Walmart besides, and we got there and the information girl told us some things they do during the week or the same day 6 hours after we arrived so just went to see a building with some decoration, a lego pool that was the only activity my daughter was able to do, the observatory was closed for maintenance but judging for the rust and debris around it was like this since before Covid, some plants in a plant nursery, we observed people preparing some activity in one of the rooms so we asked and they said it was a private event, many people laying around we supposed were public employees as there is also some culture office. So more evidence that ahead of hotel area and main attractions there is almost nothing touristic to do in Downtown Cancun.

    Realmente no fue la visita que esperaba, ya que no había mucho personal, ni estaban disponibles los servicios de proyecciones, me encantaría que le sacarán mayor provecho al recinto tan bonito, pero lo tienen descuidado. Intentaré ir en otra ocasión y correr con mayor fortuna

    It's not worth going out of your way to see. It's in need of a paint job and doesn't have any real exhibits like other planetariums. It's a waste of time.

    (Translated by Google) It is a small place, but the children are distracted from using cell phones, however, there is a lack of investment for more activities, because in other states there are more exhibitions and they are free, however, the costs are affordable. The staff working on site are helpful and friendly. More diffusion is needed to know the various workshops and exhibitions, since the information is given if you arrive at the place. (Original) Es un lugar pequeño, pero se distraen los niños del uso de celular, sin embargo, falta inversión para más actividades, debido a que en otros estados hay más exposiciones y son gratis, sin embargo, los costos son accesibles. El personal que trabaja en el lugar son atentos y amables. Falta más difusión para conocer los diversos talleres y exposiciones, ya que la información la dan si llegas al lugar.

    (Translated by Google) The activities are very basic, they do not accept card payments. Be careful where they park since the man who is there is very rude regardless of whether you are with children... (Original) Las actividades son muy basicas, no aceptan pagos con tarjetas. Ojo donde se estacionan ya que el señor que esta ahi cuidado es muy grosero sin importar que uno va con niños...

    A beautiful planetarium. They always give their best and the staff is always in a good mood. It may be small, but they give their heart to make kids have a great time.

    This is not a very touristy location but if you live nearby and enjoy Planetariums, it’s a must! I would say stop by and take a look around and support a local educational institution that is doing great work. If you don’t speak spanish, the visuals may be enough to get you by!
