Galileo Galilei PlanetariumThe Galileo Galilei Planetarium is located inside the Bosques de
Palermo and its massive dome rises out of the horizon, making it
almost impossible to miss. The planetarium was commissioned in 1962
and building was completed in 1966. In 1968, the planetarium was
officially opened to the public. The building is made up of six
floors, five staircases and a main room with a 20 metre diameter,
filled wit 360 seats. On any given day, this planetarium is abuzz
with the chatter of children and inquisitive young minds coming for
a spot of stargazing. This is a must for children of all ages and
anyone with a love of stars, space and planets. The planetarium
regularly changes its shows and displays, including Ring World,
First Man in space, A Blue Planet, super Moons, Genesis: Birth of
the Solar System, The Rule of the Vacuum, Climates of Other Worlds,
