Alfa Planetarium, Science museum and planetarium in San Pedro Garza García, Mexico
Alfa Planetarium was a science center in San Pedro Garza García with several interconnected areas: an interactive museum focused on scientific discovery, a specialized Omnimax cinema, and dedicated zones for rotating scientific exhibitions. The complex combined astronomy, technology, and nature observation under one roof.
The planetarium opened in 1978 and remained an important learning center for the region for many decades. It closed in 2020 due to the need for extensive structural maintenance and renovation work.
The site served as a center for sharing scientific knowledge and attracted people curious about technology and natural science. Visitors could engage with interactive displays exploring space exploration and modern discoveries.
Visitors should check current information before planning a visit, as the facility has been closed since 2020 for renovation. The location is easily accessible by car with ample parking available on-site.
The site contained a bird aviary within its grounds, giving visitors a chance to observe living birds. This unusual feature brought together sky observation with hands-on nature study in one place.
