Science Museum of Castilla-La Mancha
Museo de las Ciencias de Castilla-La Mancha
The regional science museum in the old town, with a planetarium, a time machine, and interactive exhibits. Great for families.
The museum makes use of a former monastery in the old town along with a modern extension. Its exhibits cover astronomy, geology, biology, and physics through hands-on installations, and the planetarium shows films at fixed times each day. It suits families with children or a rainy-day visit. Admission is about 3 euros, and the planetarium costs extra. Closed on Mondays.
