    - Firstly, for the English version, the audio and hearing experience was terrible. The whole experience is ruined by the headphones being very cheap. It hurts your ears and the sound quality is just bad. I expect atleast to have surround sounding headphones, not the one which pinches your ear drums! - The audio within the theatre is supposed to be "360", but all I heard was from one side, which wasn't feeling natural at all. I am very sure regardless of the session you choose, audio experience will not change! - The staff didn't explain the fact that there are different sessions availalbe (its a mistake on my side as well for not researching enough) - But the session i watched was just not worth at all (Life of Charles Darwin) This content is obsolete interms of graphics and visuals! It was merely a cartoon show played under 360Degree viewing experience. What's the point in playing that inside a planetarium? I wouldn't recommend anyone for this session. You can watch something much better on YouTube or other platforms. - The information shared on musuem pieces are not available in English (while its not a big deal to just translate using your mobile device) I expect a touristy place to have most common languages. - Overall, considering the session I happen to choose (without knowing there was a choice), the experience was just trash and waste of money!

    Beautiful planetarium, renovated, comfortable and with high-tech equipment. There are different sessions/subjects available. Make sure to check what is the schedule for your favorite sessions. Kids/family friendly. Very good presentation explaining what is happening in session (portuguese only?). On the down side, the sound could be better. Highly recommended.

    they only open half an hour before the exhibition. I couldn't attend to any as i didn't have time to wait. Looking forward to it.

    Great if you want to see a poor quality Youtube video displayed on the dome. Not great if you're looking for a planetarium experience. This simply is not delivered. Your old Nokia phone has more exciting visuals. How this place is still in business is beyond me :shrug:

    Maybe OK for little kids, but the video quality was terrible. It was like watching a YouTube clip on 240p on a big screen. The video itself was so old that it still showed pluto as a planet... You could get headphones for English, but the audio quality was also pretty bad. €5 for an adult, goes for 25min.

    The experience was good, however we we went to two sessions thinking that each session would be different showing and explaning different things about the universe. Well, basically the session only has a different name, the second one only added two different things from the first, the spacial station Columbus and the moon.

    Our son absolutely loves this place, he could be there all day, the staff is super friendly. He has been there twice and I'm sure we'll have to go to Lisbon again just to go again

    I am really into astronomy and physics, so maybe I am a little biased. Great experience in the dark matter session. Got a bit dizzy though.

    As a tourist, I'd like to see stars projected in a planetarium. Nothing else, not a cheap Darwin 3D movie from 2010. Thanks anyways

    My son loved this place. There was an interesting exposition about Polish scientists, only on Portuguese, but still good. The session we watched was really good as well.

    If you want to go on a trip to our galaxy, this is the right place, also there are sessions for the kids which are explained simplier

    You experience is highly depends on the place you took. Since you will be given by receiver with headset to listen for an English audio. On our place there was very low connection and we barely could hear anything except digital noice and low volume, some rows ahead people tell they were fine. The video itself was interesting (parts we managed to hear).

👍👍 Beautiful place. It's such a pleasure to be here in any season in full sun or under the moon. The Belem tower is awesome !
