Step into the cosmos at this Madrid destination, where science and astronomy are shared with the public. Kids are welcome, too.

The Madrid Planetarium has been a landmark since its opening in 1986. Located at Avenida del Planetario 16, the facility was established to contribute to the dissemination of astronomy and science in general. Its equipment was updated in 2016/2017.

With its free exhibitions and interactive displays, the Planetarium promotes science among the younger generations. It offers a varied range of audiovisual projections, exhibitions, and activities.

Outside, there is access to the Tierno Galvan Park, where children can play in an open auditorium.
