The Planetarium in Cancun

Cancun’s planetarium is, as you might expect, steeped in the latest technology and science—in fact it uses 5th generation technology; the most advanced available to public services—, but there’s also a surprising amount of focus upon the natural world and culture of the Cancun area.
As well as the Planetarium’s focus upon the cosmos and astronomy, there is a strong emphasis on the value of, and need for, environmental and archaeological education and preservation amongst the wider public. While you will have ample opportunity to learn about the mysteries of space, you will also be presented with facts and truths about the planet and the area that surrounds Cancun.

Architecture in tune with the cosmos

When designing the Ka’Yok’ Planetarium, the architect was inspired, unsurprisingly, by the cosmos: the smooth lines and circular structures now standing are the result of this creative design. Though this is only the outside of the planetarium, it sets a precedent; from the moment you arrive you will be immersed in the secrets and wonders of the cosmos. The digital domes, in particular, make for an incredible experience, but you can also go to an eco-tourism workshop, check out the on-site water museum, or catch a captivating show in the auditorium.
