Frequently asked questions

Trobeu respostes a preguntes comunes sobre el Parc i els esdeveniments.Find answers to common questions about the Park and events.

How much do tickets cost?

It depends on the show we choose: SELENE: · Children from 2 to 5 years old: €15 · Children from 6 to 12 years old: €17 · Adults and over 13 years old: €20 GAIA and KOSMOS: · Children from 2 to 12 years old: €17 · General (for adults between 13 and 64 years old): €22 · Senior (for over 65 years old): €21

Are there discounts for disability or teaching card holders?

No. Discounts are applied according to the age of the visitor.

Can I do just the outdoor part of the activity?

Yes, in all shows. But it should be noted that there is only a price reduction in the GAIA and KOSMOS shows. In fact, you can choose whether you want to do only the inside or outside part of the activity. Although it is not the recommended option as a general rule. In this case, the ticket costs €20 without age restrictions.

Can I get a discount code?

We do not have discount codes.

Only gift vouchers exist. The indicated box is to validate the code of a gift card for those people who have one.

How do I decide which show to choose?

It depends on each case.

As a general rule, we recommend SELENE for families with children under 8 years old.

GAIA is a show for adults, but if families with children over 8 years old come, it would also be recommended.

KOSMOS is also a show for adults. In this case, the complexity of the vocabulary and concepts means that we can recommend it from 12 years old.

What is the best time?

There is no better time than another. In fact, all are good. The sessions are organized so that all groups have a closed night when they do the observation even if it is still daytime inside.

What is the best time of year to see the stars?

There is no better time of year than another. Each time of year is different, with its own objects and events that make it special.

To choose the day, it is advisable to look at the lunar phase:

If we want to see the moon: in the waxing moon
If we want to see the darkness of the sky: in the new moon or waning moon

We can find out what lunar phase we are in with a lunar calendar.

What happens if it's cloudy or raining?

We always go ahead with the shows regardless of the weather forecast. In case of bad weather, clouds or rain, we offer the possibility of coming another day to recover the exterior part that could not be done or if it was only partially done.

What should I bring?

Warm clothes are essential no matter what the time of year. If you have them, but it is not essential, you can bring a flashlight or headlamp with a red light since the last 200m until reaching the Observation Point are not lit.

Can we bring sandwiches?

Most sessions are split-time, meaning that between the indoor and outdoor sessions we have some free time to go for a snack or dinner (depending on the session).

You can go and eat something at one of the bar-restaurants in the town, you can go to your apartment (if applicable) and you can bring sandwiches to eat at one of the picnic areas in the town (such as at Abellera or the pond). Food and drinks are not allowed inside the Visitor Center.

Can we bring a dog?

Animals are not allowed in the Visitor Center, that is, in the interior of the session.

You can bring your dog to the exterior of the session as long as it is on a leash (for your own safety and the safety of the group).

How do we get to Prades?

How to get there by private car?
From Barcelona you can get there by taking the A-2 motorway towards Vilafranca del Penedès, continue to Montblanc and there change to the N-240 road to Espluga de Francolí. In Vimbodí take the detour to the TV-7004 towards Vilanova de Prades.
