Casa de las Ciencias & Santa Margarita Park
Casa das Ciencias
A small science museum inside Santa Margarita Park, with a planetarium and a Foucault pendulum. It was Spain's first municipal interactive science museum.
Casa de las Ciencias opened in 1985 as Spain's first municipal interactive science museum. It is housed in a pink palatial building from the early 20th century and contains a Foucault pendulum, physics experiment exhibits, and a planetarium (separate ticket, with scheduled shows). Santa Margarita Park, where the museum stands on higher ground in the city, has small hills, gardens, and a children's playground, making it good for a family half-day. Admission is about €2, and combo tickets with the aquarium and Domus are available. It is about a 15-minute walk from Riazor Beach.
