A very interesting place, there is an exhibition of beautiful photos of space, the lecture itself was interesting and beautiful. At the entrance there is an interactive playground, you can have an interesting time, the children will like it. We also got to the exhibition Parade of Planets and Stars, it looks amazing at night.

I didn’t go there when it was opened. But the place seems to be very nice, I am not sure if they have English sessions. But I will back there to check it. Outside you have a great green area. Very nice place :)
