About this plan
The Bogotá Planetarium runs a series of live astronomy talks all October, built for the whole family. Each session starts with a guided chat, moves into a dome projection, then lets you explore the museum's interactive rooms, and wraps up with a hands-on activity so you leave with real learning.
Two main experiences sit on the schedule. One circles around constellations, how stars group together, and the objects you cannot see with the naked eye. The other walks through the solar system, with a sharp focus on Earth and the search for life beyond our planet. The language stays simple, so it works as a kids' plan or for any curious adult who wants to understand the sky without getting bored.
The Planetarium sets dates and times week by week. Check the official schedule before you go so you can lock in a seat at the talk that grabs you.
