This place is a little gem run by passionate people who are experts in the field but maybe lack some commercial skills. The guys organize sessions about different topics related to space followed by observing a projection of the sky, which is more interactive. It could be nice to have more audio-visual help for the first part, maybe a video or presentation. The tour ends by observing the sky via telescope, if the wheatear allows.
Spectacular. It was slightly expensive (Spanish speakers pay slightly less but for English it is 15€/person) but the staff are all dedicated volunteers and the money goes towards keeping the facility open. What they occasionally lack in English language abilities they easily overcome with raw passion and knowledge - feel free to ask away and they will answer your questions. Expect to enjoy a small lecture (interesting, I promise!), to use the telescope and to go inside for a 3D cinema experience. Something very different and a great thing to try if you have visitors or just want to try something new. Others had said it was hard to find but Google maps got us there easily
Very cool place. It is run by passionate volontiers who are very implicated in the whole thing. They make the experience even more interesting than it already is. Seeing the moon with the telescope is pretty incredible. My photo doesn't even come close to showing how cool it was. It was even ok for me to come with my puppy and the guides where very comprehensive.
Absolutely impressing - these guys explain the sky with lots of knowledge and passion. We had three hours of watching the planets in the observatorium and with lots information; a practical demonstration by installing and explaining a telescope and comparing the views of the planets by different telescopes - but not only this, we got beautiful high quality handouts about the night sky, learned a lot about comets and asteroides, took photos and now have good advises for apps and links to go on with this fascinating favourite. Their explanations made the astronomical things lively and exciting to us and personally we think, their work should be lots better honorated and supported by government - as this observatori, with these guys, can give an important contribution on investigation. There might be 'bigger' planetariums whereelse, but you won't get the events on nightly sky personally and such detailly explained - this makes this place really unique! Thank you very much for this beautiful and very impressing experience.
Unfortunately closed. But from the outside it makes an interesting impression.
We enjoyed our visit very much. Be aware the times listed on their website are winter hours. We arrived at 7pm in August to be told it didn't open till 8pm, other than it's well worth a visit. They give you a lecture outside then take you inside into the planetarium which I found very intresting. By this time its dusk, your then taken outside again to a telescope, we viewed the moons craters, wow..... I recommend this for all age groups and found it to be good value for money.
Opens at 7pm Friday and Saturday at the moment. A great informative evening. A friendly fun and educational talk which was fine for 4 and 5 year olds. Then a look at the stars and through a telescope. Then we finished with a surround digital film displayed on the domed roof about the space age. A fabulous evening. Everything can be in Spanish or English request upon entry. Well worth a visit.
This magical experience made our holiday! The planetarium show was informative and interesting. Afterwards, we were able to view Saturn and Jupiter through the telescopes - such a special opportunity. Our guide was so enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable providing us with answers to all our questions. The night sky was very clear, enabling us to see many planets, star constellations and part of the Milky Way.
