    The exhibits are pretty basic, take about an hour and only 70% of them have English translation. Avoid the show in the dome if you don't speak fluent Spanish, because there is no translation and the guide speaks too fast for even my friend that is conversationally fluent in Spanish to understand. And then when the show starts, it's pretty basic on the visuals and again no subtitles. We watched the big bang show Dec 2019. Bathrooms had no soap or paper towels/dryers, bring your own?

    My wife and I had a blast! We were so happy to explore the planetarium here in Medellin! I was nervous at first because my Spanish is just so-so, but everything was also in English! We did the dome presentation and they also had audio headphones! The entire thing was about 2-3 hours and it was super cheap! Highly suggest a great date.

    Fantastic! Spent a whole day here with my 6, 9 and 11 year old world schooled kids and we could have easily spent another day. A special thumbs up to all the university students who make up the friendly, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable staff.

    Such an incredible place. Staff, people, and interactive and non interactive displays where on point. Also their covid restrictions makes you see that they care.

    This planetarium is a must see for you “astronomers” like me! The exhibition is in both English and Spanish and there are some interesting things to see, a guide is also available and I would highly recommend buying a ticket for the planetarium show I saw the Maya Astronomía (Spanish only) and was interesting, and if you’re not really up on Spanish it’s still a pretty cool show. That said, it would be nice if there were subtitles.

    Nice interactive exhibition, I'm into astronomy so I might be a bit biased but I would highly recommend it to anyone.

    Great experience in Medellín to be visited and enjoyed. Try to get tickets for the Domo cinema which is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy one of the movies regarding the nature. This place is right in front of the park Explora but the tickets are different to enter each other. There is also a shopping mall across the street.

    Great museum! Lots of interactive elements. Perfect place to take kids. Has English translations. Cafe is cute and reasonably priced meals, snacks, and coffee.

    I had an amazing time at the planetarium, and I want to express my gratitude to the employee named David, whom I met on the third floor. David's passion and enthusiasm for science and languages left a lasting impression on me. He taught me about the cycle of stars, time dilation, and black holes in a way that was easy to understand, and his willingness to help me practice and understand my Spanish was exceptional. Thanks to David, I learned so much about our universe and made significant progress in improving my Spanish skills. It was evident that David cares about his job and genuinely wants visitors to have a memorable and rewarding experience. David's dedication to his work and exceptional service deserves recognition and appreciation. I hope that the management acknowledges his outstanding contributions and rewards him accordingly. He is a true asset to the planetarium, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have met him. Once again, thank you, David, for making my visit to the planetarium an unforgettable one. I look forward to returning and learning more from you in the future.

    I left this review because the boy that was talking to us did an excellent job and I hope his boss sees this. Unfortunately we did not ask his name, but he was an astrophysics student in his 2nd year. Amazing job educating us and keeping us entertained at the same time!

    It's was ok but I would say that the price doesn't match the experience.
