OUR FAMILY ASSESSMENT

Family Intelligence

The Planetarium of Medellín is a science museum built around its planetarium dome. Entry covers one dome show and the second level, where the exhibits include Science on a Sphere. The dome programme runs a show made for children, Avellanas en el cielo, alongside Animales celestes, which traces constellations of mountain, river and sea in the skies over Antioquia. Pick your show before you queue, since the ticket includes only one. Outside food is not allowed in, so meals happen at the Kaldi Kafee restaurant on the first floor or the vending machine near the library rather than from your own bag.
