Parque de las Ciencias
Andalusia's most popular science museum, with interactive galleries, a planetarium, a butterfly house and an observation tower. A good half-day outing for families.
The Parque de las Ciencias covers about 70,000 square metres. Its interactive galleries cover the human body, biodiversity, Al-Andalus culture and technology. There is also a planetarium, a tropical butterfly house, a birds of prey show and an observation tower about 50 metres high. Tickets cost about 8 to 10 euros, and the planetarium costs extra. The museum is closed on Mondays, and families are numerous on weekends. It is on the south side of the city centre, reachable by metro or bus, and can be combined with a walk along the nearby Avenida de las Ciencias.
