Iago AvelinoSeptember 14, 2015Dark Universe is a FANTASTIC show! Definitely recommend this if you are curious about the origin of the galaxies and would appreciate a wonderful trip throughout the whole process!Upvote7Downvote- Sven LeuschnerAugust 10, 2022The movies with the live narration are excellent. They try to include the audience which draws you in. Everything is very modern and the seats are comfy. Make sure you book your movie in advance!Upvote3Downvote
David BushellAugust 5, 2013If you have your CAA/AAA card, or your Access Montreal card, bring it for a little discount. There is not a lot to see at the Planetarium for the exception of the two movies.

hussein sMarch 22, 2016Come and experience the mysteries of life, the planets, the stars, the history and various research. Dark universe and Aurorae, I recommend themUpvote1Downvote
Ross HillJune 29, 2013As the stars appear in the sky it's nice to know what you're looking at. The Planetarium has a really fun show that zooms you through the universe and points out what everything is.

Kyle R.August 3, 2015Go there late ( around 19:30 ) : at the exit of the planetarium astronomers are often present with powerful telescopes and let the public see the stars !UpvoteDownvote
Caterina Salvatori-HsuenAugust 14, 2013Buy your tickets in advance online. Only a few English shows to choose from. Parking is $15 long line up. Line up at theater, tickets or mobile tickets are scanned in theater line not before.UpvoteDownvote
Arno BurnukOctober 26, 2014All I have to say is... Booooring! All you get for 15$ is two low quality movies and a small exhibition in the hallway. Come on Rio Tinto, you could have done better. Montreal deserves more.UpvoteDownvote
Paige HunterSeptember 30, 2016Un Jour sur Mars is a fantastic show! The bean bag chairs made the experience so fun.

- hussein sMarch 22, 2016Les effets spéciaux sont à couper le souffle, les narrations entraînantes, les mystères qui entourent la vie et l'humanité passionnants. Laissez-vous émerveiller par la grandeur de la scienceUpvoteDownvote
Louis CoutureAugust 1, 2013L'exposition continuum est un must! Ce spectacle est sans son mais avec de la musique nous fait voyager de la terre a l'espace le tout dans des poufs confortables aménagés à cet effet.Upvote1Downvote
Hugues LamarcheJuly 3, 2013Achetez vos billets en ligne et assurez-vous de bien comprendre ce que vous achetez! Bons spectacles, c'est définitivement une amélioration par rapport au planétarium Dow. Sièges confo, petit café +UpvoteDownvote
Veronik SicardSeptember 8, 2014les deux films sont absolument magnifiques ! Il faut acheter les billets en avance (sur internet c'est moins cher) car le nombre de places est limité!UpvoteDownvote
Emmanuelle Hardy-SenécalAugust 16, 2013Allez-y tard (autour de 19h30): à la sortie du planétarium des astronomes sont souvent présents avec des télescopes puissants et laissent le public regarder les étoiles!Upvote1Downvote
JulienFApril 14, 2013Situé en plein coeur du Parc Olympique, avec les autres installations "Espace pour la vie", à 5 mins de marche du métro Viau, on aime son architecture moderne, achetez vos billets en avance !Upvote1Downvote
Cedrick DelisleApril 29, 2013Beaucoup de potentiel, le premier spectacle pourrait être améliorer pour livrer plus d'information et moins de spéculations infondées mais le second est excellent et le staff très sympathique :)Upvote1Downvote
Arturo LunaAugust 15, 2017Muy pequeño, el discurso de la exposición es poco usual y las películas a pesar de estar bien producidas, no se comparan con las de otros planetarios como el de Chicago.Upvote1Downvote
