Guided tours for individuals, families and groups are of two types: standard guided tours and observational evening tours.
Those who are interested in doing both activities on the same day can purchase a Full Day ticket valid only during July-August-September.

STANDARD TICKET

The standard ticket gives access to the standard guided tour. There are two standard tickets: standard ticket October-June (denoted Oct-Jun, valid from October to June) and standard ticket July-Sept (denoted Jul-Sept, valid from July to September).

During October-June, the guided tour for the public takes place on Saturday afternoons from 3:30 to 6:00 pm. Single visit of about 2 hours and 15 minutes.

During July-September, the standard guided tour takes place in the afternoon, from Tuesday to Sunday. Activities start at 5 p.m. and end at about 7:15 p.m. Observations of the sky start at 9:30 p.m. and end around 11:45 p.m.

The pedestrian gate opens half an hour before the start of the visit.

SKY OBSERVATIONS TICKET

The ticket gives access to the guided sky observations tour that takes place outdoors in the Space and Time Park and in the Observation Terrace.

During July-September, sky observations starts at 9:30 p.m. You can explore your universe with the naked eye, with small telescopes and the Galhassin Robotic Telescope, the wide-field telescope for distant objects.

In case of adverse weather conditions, sky observations will be replaced by videos and images from our archive.

Limited seats. People are asked to reserve their visit well in advance. No visitors will be allowed outside the allowed number.

FULL DAY TICKET

Those who are interested in doing both the standard guided tour and sky observations can purchase a single ticket called a Full Day ticket valid during July-August-September.

To find out how and when to plan your visit, go to the Ticket Reservations section and select the ticket based on the period: October-June or July-September.
By selecting a standard ticket, or a full day ticket, or sky observations, you can find out the available dates for each visit.

The Planetarium activity is part of the standard tour.
