BOOK ACTIVITY

Science Museum, Valencia

Avinguda del Professor López Piñero, València, Comunidad Valenciana

Description

The Science Museum Príncipe Felipe holds interactive exhibitions and scientific activities with a particular focus on learning through interaction. The building is part of the City of Arts and Sciences complex and was designed by Santiago Calatrava.

Access & Transport

The Oceanogràfic tram station (10) is next to the complex and buses 15/95 also stop there + bus 94 stops across the park on Passeig de l'Albereda. The City of Arts and Sciences is 4km to the southeast of the city centre. Directions: https://cac.es/en/informacion-de-interes/

Instructions & Recommendations

We suggest combining this activity with the Oceanogràfic, the Queen Sofia Palace of Arts or the nearby Museu Faller de València.

Meta review

One of Valencia's top attractions for its architecture which draws unanimous praise, but the majority of online reviewers were somewhat disappointed by the content. It is indeed very interactive and kids really do enjoy it, but adults tend to be left wanting. Couple of recurring comments: the entrance is not straightforward to find and the ticket purchase process is not user friendly.

Environmental & Social

Educational content but construction of the complex would have been resources intensive. We cannot find any recent data on environmental sustainability.

Conclusion

The Science Museum is a must see - from the outside. If you have a spare 2h and are with children and/or interested in everything cultural / scientific then it is worth going in (price is reasonable), otherwise you may want to consider other attractions in the area instead.

Key positive

Stunning architecture

Family-friendly activity

Easy to get to by public transport

Key negative

Insufficient content
