The Europlanetarium Genk is a people’s observatory and planetarium in Genk, Belgium.

A scientific image of 570 million years geological history is reproduced here in an utmost pleasant style and this in such a way that it can captivate and appeal to both the specialist, the student or the passer-by.

Seven monitors provided a planetarium show with various themes.  Schools especially appreciated this because they had cosmology in their syllabus and came to the planetarium with specific questions and assignments. The Laser was officially opened in 1998 together with the new planetarium show ‘Mars, back to the red planet’. As expected the visitors were impressed by the possibilities of such a laser. The geological garden Georama was officially occupied on 9 July 1988.
