About

Infini.to is the first Italian Science Centre devoted to Astronomy and Space Science. Our pioneering centre was inaugurated in 2007 and it ‘s located on the top of the panoramic hills surrounding the city of Turin, next to the Astrophysical Observatory. Our mission is to reach out and connect people to the universe and one another under the sky we all share. Our participating Institutions are the Nat. Instit. of Astrophysics, the University of Turin, the Nat. Instit. of Nuclear Physics, the Piedmont Region, the Metropolitan City of Turin, and the Township of Pino Torinese. We combine one of the most technologically advanced planetariums with a 1.000 square meters exhibition area and more than 40 interactive exhibits. We hosted more than 500.000 visitors coming not only from the surrounding area, but also from the whole country and abroad. We offer guided tours, laboratory activities, shows in the planetarium, conferences, seminaries, workshops for educators, stargazing events.
