Built in 1966, one of the Planetarium's first highlights is its outstanding planet-shaped building featuring a 65-feet-wide cupola. Inside this dome, using a powerful laser system, outer space is recreated in all its splendor with great detail. That projection is a great show that you shouldn't miss. Other highlights include samples of meteorites and several models depicting the history of space exploration. You don't need to be a big fan of astronomy to enjoy this interesting museum. It's a great place to visit with your kids because it’s entertaining and educational as well. -Pablo Waldman
