I'm Portuguese, and my son was born in England. Whenever we come here on vacation, I make sure to show him a little bit of Portugal—this time we went to the planetarium, and he loved it.

This trip to the Lisbon Planetarium was the highlight of my family vacation. We saw the beauty of the universe and learned about the humility of being a grain of sand in the cosmos. The session was excellent and booking tickets was super easy. I especially liked the interactive exhibition area, which captivated my children. I recommend it for an unforgettable and educational experience. I believe it is worth visiting. I recommend it.

The presentation by the gentleman with gray hair was definitely excellent. Especially the part where he told the teachers to be quiet and complained about them being on their cell phones. I loved every moment, even when he turned on the lights in the middle of the session to reprimand someone. The gentleman was having a complete mental breakdown. An absolutely unmissable show. The 5 stars go to the reception staff and the team that helps you choose seats in the plenary, for their friendliness and professionalism. If it weren't for them, I would never consider setting foot in there again.
