Nowadays this iconic Tijuana institution has different programs for all ages, from classes for early stimulation for kids around 2 months and 2 years old, plastic arts and artisan workshops for children from 5 to 15 years old, and concerts, conferences, movies, documentaries, exhibitions, and services designed to entertain while educating different age groups at the same time.

[citation needed] The centerpiece of the complex is an OMNIMAX cinema designed by architects Pedro Ramirez Vazques and Manuel Rossen Morrison.

In October of that year, it premiered the film El pueblo del sol, which was made especially for the cinema's opening.

In September 2008, on the eve of its 26th anniversary, CECUT opened El Cubo ("The Cube)"), so named because of the contrast between the nickname of the OMNIMAX cinema "The Ball".

Since then it has been the home for exhibitions from other countries such as those of Buda Guanyin, Gabriel Figueroa, Alice Rahon, Venus en Tijuana, Proyecto Civico, and Animated Painting among others.
