If you are in Cefalù, an experience not to be missed is the excursion to the Isnello Astronomical Park, Gal Hassin. It is a magical place where science is within everyone’s reach, not just experts. Imagine starting your visit in the large planetarium: with its 75 seats, you will feel as if you are travelling among the galaxies while sitting comfortably. Once outside, the magic continues on the observation terrace, where small telescopes and astronomical binoculars let you scan the details of the night sky, which from up here, far from city lights, is crystal clear.

But the Park is not only active at night. During the day, you can enter the solar laboratory to observe our star up close and discover all the secrets of its phenomena. It is also fascinating to stroll through the open-air astronomical park, among sundials of every kind, where you can put the laws of physics to the test with hands-on experiments. It is the perfect place for students and for the simply curious who want to “touch” the mysteries of the universe.
The best time to go is definitely between late spring and summer, when the sky is clearest, but I suggest always checking the Park’s events calendar, because they often organise special evenings for particular meteor showers or planetary alignments.
