Which kids' film suits which age?

El cielo de Cloe is made for kids up to 6 and runs 35 minutes, with songs to join in. Polaris, where a penguin and a polar bear build a spaceship to find out why polar nights are so long, is recommended from age 6 and runs 30 minutes.

Do we need a ticket to see the exhibitions?

No, the exhibitions are free and the halls are open to walk around during opening hours. Tickets are only for the dome shows: adults €3.60; ages 2 to 14 and over 65 €1.65; under 2 free on a lap.

How do we get there by metro?

Méndez Álvaro on line 6 is the closest stop, also served by Cercanías C5 and C10. Buses 8, 102, 148, 152 and 156 stop nearby.

The streets around the park are SER blue-zone parking (zones 24 and 25) with few pay machines close by. Lines at the machines can make you miss a film's start, so allow extra time or come by metro.

About

Spain's first public planetarium sits in Tierno Galván park and reopened in 2026 after a year and a half of renovation. Its new dome projector puts 10 million stars overhead and plays full-dome 4K films. Weekend mornings bring films made for kids, including El cielo de Cloe, a sing-along sky lesson for preschoolers. The halls on the moon, eclipses and European space missions are free to walk.
