Parque da Sementeira
About This Museum
You'd never guess that one of Aracaju's most vibrant green spaces hides a portal to the cosmos. Parque da Sienteira is this incredible urban oasis where families picnic under towering palm trees by day, and the paths come alive with mesmerizing light installations by night. Tucked within it all is a science museum and planetarium that feels more like a playground for the mind than a stuffy institution. It’s the kind of place where you can go for a jog and end up staring at the stars.
Collection Highlights
The planetarium is the undeniable star, offering breathtaking shows that project the secrets of the Southern Hemisphere's night sky onto a vast dome. Other exhibits let you get hands-on with physics principles, making complex ideas feel like magic tricks you can control with your own two hands.
Visitor Information
Entry to the park itself is free and it's open from morning until late, which is perfect for catching those cool light displays after sunset. Just check their social media for the specific planetarium showtimes, as they run on a set schedule.
Architecture & Building
The museum building is modern and sleek, with clean lines that contrast playfully against the wild greenery of the park. Its most striking feature is probably the iconic dome of the planetarium, a white sphere that looks like it landed gently amidst the palm fronds.
