Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It is a safe place, very close to Parque Explora. They have various attractions, a cafeteria, and a souvenir shop. One of its main attractions is a dome where documentaries are presented on a 180-degree screen, with high quality, it also has interactive areas where you can experience an earthquake, visualize the formation of the suns, planets, stars and take professional photos that will later be send to your email, etc.

The planetarium is located very close to The Universidad de Antioquia, Parque Explora, Jardin Botanico and Parque Norte, where all kind of people converges: families, students, proffesionals, researches, streets sellers, etc. The Planetarium Buildings has a big square where is common find special shows and cultural events.

I went to El Planetario the same day I went to Parque Explora. I purchased the Combo Explora ticket that allowed access to both museums. Parque Explora was definitely worth the price of admission and I would recommend going. El Planetario, while nice, would not be worth a stand-alone ticket price. If you don't plan on going to Parque Explora, then you can skip El Planetario.

This place is good to bring children. We watched a movie in the dome for about 30 min. This place is small you can do it in about 1 hour.

Through the planetarium shows, it is possible to link history, geography and the celestial bodies. Comfortable seating and well narrated!

It is one of the best attractions in Medellín.
It isn't very big but you can easily loose track of time.
It is an educational trip but since a most of it is interactive, kids really enjoy it.
A lot of small demos so the kids are really engaged during the whole trip.
It's great for all ages, it's just an interesting place to visit.
