Titik kulminasi merupakan peristiwa penting dan menakjubkan di sekitar Tugu Khatulistiwa yang menyebabkan terjadinya titik kulminasi matahari, yakni fenomena alam ketika matahari tepat berada di garis khatulistiwa. Titik nol derajat atau kulminasi matahari yang ada di Pontianak merupakan salah satu keistimewaan yang dimiliki kota ini dibandingkan dengan negara-negara lainnya yang dilalui garis Khatulistiwa karena tepat berada di tengah-tengah kota. Selain itu, keunikan desain Tugu Khatulistiwa juga menjadi daya tarik tersendiri.
Pada saat itu posisi matahari akan tepat berada di atas kepala sehingga menghilangkan semua bayangan benda-benda di permukaan bumi. Pada peristiwa kulminasi tersebut, bayangan tugu akan “menghilang” beberapa detik saat diterpa sinar matahari. Demikian juga dengan bayangan benda-benda lain di sekitar tugu.
