About This Place
The Planetario Galileo Galilei stands as an iconic public planetarium in Buenos Aires, housed in a striking modernist saucer-shaped building located in Palermo. Offering a captivating projection of the night sky from its 20-metre dome, visitors can also explore a meteorite museum, a 4D simulator, and virtual reality experiences. For families, interactive exhibits and real meteorites featured in the outdoor Plaza Astronómica make for a full day's adventure. Shows require ticket reservations, and free tickets are available under conditions for children under 4, pensioners, and disabled visitors.
