The building of the Castellón Planetarium is situated in the Grao de Castellón, just a few meters away from Pinar Beach. The planetarium is easily recognizable from the outside due to its prominent 25-meter dome, which houses the projection room.
Upon entering the building, visitors are greeted by a Foucault Pendulum in the lobby, along with a space dedicated to temporary exhibitions on science and technology. The semi-basement of the planetarium houses permanent exhibitions, focusing on astronomy and the Columbretes Islands, as well as the maritime and fishing world in general.
The Castellón Planetarium organizes a variety of educational activities throughout the year. These include projections, live planetarium shows, children's workshops, introductory courses to astronomy, and observations of solar and lunar eclipses and meteor showers. During the winter season, the planetarium is frequented by numerous educational centers from the Valencian Community, while in the summer, it serves as a popular destination for tourists visiting Castellón.
