It’s a two-hour astronomical experience, designed for families and especially for young children. Led by an astronomer, it includes a visit to the “Ull del Montsec” Planetarium, the Parc dels Telescopis (Telescope Park), and, weather permitting, live observation of the Sun through solar telescopes.
In addition, to celebrate the Gaudí Year, a family workshop on magical optics is offered, using polarized sheets to create dynamic mosaics and stained-glass windows that change depending on the light and orientation.

VISIT INFORMATION
Includes three activities:
-
Guided visit
L’Ull del Montsec
It is a digital multimedia planetarium with a movable dome 12 meters in diameter, where the new Hazelnuts show is projected.
Synopsis: In a sky filled with planets supposedly boasting delicious hazelnuts, two greedy squirrels, Nino and Lilli, want to travel to them. But Leon, the wise owl, reveals the truth through its telescope: the extreme climate of these planets makes life impossible. This entertaining show, featuring storytelling and puppetry, explains the incredible luck of life on Earth, the result of a series of improbable events that allowed for the emergence and maintenance of the ideal conditions for life on our planet.

Workshop
Light Mosaics
A family workshop on magical optics that uses polarized sheets to create dynamic mosaics and stained-glass windows that change depending on the light and orientation. Inspired by Gaudí’s brittle glass, participants play with color, symmetry, and texture while discovering optical concepts in a fun and creative way.
