Planetario Galileo Galilei

Just a reminder: buy your tickets online. It was 3k arg pesos when I bought it. Very cool place, not high def but for the price it was super worth it. The duration is around 30 minutes. Don't try and buy when you get there cause they'll probably tell you to buy online.

Make sure to get your tickets online. The show is quite nice although the colors are somewhat desaturated.

Very cool architecture outside and stunning visuals inside. The planetarium seems a very popular attraction in Buenos Aires. We went on a weekday afternoon, and the queues were insane. You have to book online in advance because you won't get in if you rock up there hoping to pay at the door. The online ticket was only around $2, so it's great value for what you get. You can roam around looking at all the instruments and information, but the show is the highlight. You lie back on your tilted seat, looking upwards at the domed ceiling that turns into a 3D map of the sky in the Southern Hemisphere. They play a 30 minute documentary called 'The birth of planet Earth' which you are totally immersed in, and you feel like you are floating through the galaxy. This is totally all in Spanish and there are no English ones on the schedule, so that's the only reason why it loses 1 star. Luckily for me I had the best interpreter beside me, so I got a lot out of this. You can watch it online yourself later. This planetarium was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. It is also located in a beautiful park with lakes and colourful birds everywhere, which is another bonus. Just a short walk from Plaza Italia.

I let Monday to visit this place and when I arrived there, it was closed, and in the google map it's saying that it's open, so I was disappointed. I don't know if it's closed today only or all on Mondays

A bit disappointing if I am honest. Documentary (on the sun) was bit boring - three women next to us fell asleep :) Sit near the entrance as most of the images are opposite for some odd reason.

Please note that this isn’t a planetarium in the traditional sense. They show a film in Spanish only about astronomy and we were told we could not purchase tickets to enter inside and walk around, only to see the Spanish film. A waste of time and then we were stranded without transport.

I love this place and have no idea why people expect English versions of everything in a Spanish-speaking country. Part of going to other countries is encountering different languages and cultures- not expecting them to cater to yours.

Will update my review when we actually go inside. Just a heads up! Walked up today to buy tickets to get in and the lady working told us not very nicely that we needed to buy them online only and today was sold out. So in case you were as uneducated as we were about how the process works, now you know.
