Planetario di Padova

A truly exciting experience for the third year students of the lower secondary school of the Lendinara Comprehensive Institute. Immersed in the darkness of the Padua planetarium, the fulldome projection transported our minds on an extraordinary journey through the solar system. The stars danced above us, revealing the majesty of their birth, as our gaze was lost in the infinity of space. An enveloping emotion, between wonder and contemplation, permeated the air, giving us a unique perspective on cosmic wonders.

Evaluation only for the management of reservations since the site is very badly made, I've been following it for a day to book, the site doesn't work, I call at the appropriate time indicated and they tell me that in reality they had opened reservations half an hour earlier so by now everything was full. I'm sorry I can't rate the experience because I heard the videos are well made.

Meetings at the planetarium are always a wonderful experience. Scientific dissemination done very well, suitable for adults and children. The films are of a high standard, made even more fascinating and engaging by the technological projection on the dome which immerses spectators in the celestial vault. Equally interesting is the part preceding the film, during which an astronomer, again with the aid of a video, speaks directly to the audience present. A cultural proposal, and in the best sense of the term also "playful", not to be missed!

I booked the tickets from the site, when we arrived we were told that reclining seats were not available but normal chairs because there was a group with us that occupied the entire room. So what's the point of booking? On the website it is written that up to 10 minutes before the screening the seats are considered booked and we arrived more than ten minutes early. In the end, after the whole group had been seated, there were two free seats left (perhaps those from our reservation?) and they made us move there, but the organization was really bad, plus we had to use the side seats which weren't available. just the best in terms of vision. The seats have little space between one row and the other, which is very uncomfortable for tall people because you don't know where to keep your legs. Another thing, on the site for that time the show Stars was listed as well as the explanation on the solar system, but then a vote was taken to choose whether to see that or Explore, but here too it was not clear from the site that there would be a choice between two. On the other hand, the lady who explained the film of the solar system was very good and knowledgeable, it was interesting. It was a pleasant evening but the organization could be much improved.

We visited this beautiful place today, admiring the composition of the universe from the sun to the intergalactic spaces. It was interesting, thanks to the guide who explained everything in detail, and very exciting. The gaze towards the moving sky, an extraordinary flight among the stars and with the imagination. We will definitely be back. P.s. thanks to the kind gentleman at the checkout who let us in even though it had already started a few minutes ago! See you soon Laura and Fabio
