Rio Tinto Alcan Planétarium

The theatre shows are fantastic, especially for kids. Being seated in bean bags looking up at projections on the dome is a truly amazing experience. Outside of the theatres, the exhibits are quite small but it's hard to complain as they are free. Overall, worth a quick visit if you're in the area but not worth planning a trip to the area for.

Visited Planetarium 🪐 with my kids. My daughters had a great experience. We booked for interactive Celestial Chronicles, which lasted for one hour approximately. It had I believe three phases of the show. All shows are awesome, informative and the staff frequently interacted with children. You can purchase the ticket on the spot from the reception desk and you must choose which language to opt for, English (which we opted for) or French. They also have some devices and instruments, which are being used for the study of Astronomy 🔭 They have a gift shops with products mainly for the kids. Overall it was a great experience.

Visited last Thursday with my teenage sister and we absolutely loved our experience here! We watched the double feature matching the kids' solar system show with *Aurorae*, and honestly, the kids' show completely stole the spotlight. It was so fast-paced, vibrant, and visually captivating. Watching everything from the giant, cozy bean bags ("puffs") in the Théâtre du Chaos made it an incredibly relaxing, immersive, and memorable experience. It’s easily one of the best ways to get unforgettable core memories at a very modest cost. We both have the Passeport saison, which is an amazing deal and gives us unlimited access to all 4 of the main estate museums (plus the 5th across the river!). Can't wait to use it to check out the rest: * The Biodôme * The Insectarium * The Jardin botanique * The Biosphère Highly recommend checking out the planetarium shows, even the ones geared toward kids—they are spectacular! Kids under 18 should bring their ID to get the maximum discount.

The Montreal Planetarium is a very interesting place! The main highlights are the immersive shows in the Chaos and Milky Way theaters. The Milky Way show was my absolute favorite. There is also a cool space exhibition that simulates a trip to Mars, and a small, neat display of space-themed Lego creations. It’s definitely an awesome and educational experience for kids!

MESSAGE FOR TOURISTS: THE PLANETARIUM IS FREE ADMISSION IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO VIEW THE MOVIES HERE. It wasn’t what I was anticipating exactly. Do not expect a replica of multiple planets with fun facts about different planets and whatnot (stereotypical planetarium). This planetarium itself is mostly focused on mars and several ground breaking scientists and astronomers from the 19th, 20th and 21st century. It was still fun for me because I was interested in learning abut different scientists, but don’t expect anything super cool like an observatory or interesting simulations. Awesome for being free though!!!!
