Itinerary

For your Valencia – L'Hemisfèric, Science Museum, L'Oceanografic experience you should make your way to the entrance of the Science Museum within the City of Arts and Sciences to change your voucher for the entrance ticket.

Inside the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences complex all kinds of thrills await you.

L'Hemisferic is an amazing ‘eye-shaped’ structure housing a splendid Laserium, Planetarium and IMAX cinema (with over 900 square meters of screen). The wide-angled projectors, lasers and superb audio-visual system make for an awe-inspiring and magical experience. See projectors turn the dome into a brilliant star-filled sky or enjoy a 3-D virtual voyage on the huge IMAX screen.

Architecture buffs love the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum, a cleverly designed building based on a dinosaur skeleton. Curious kids love what goes on inside, where there are all sorts of hands-on experiences that bring science to life. Expect soaring platforms filled with lasers, holograms, simulators, and hands-on lab experiments. Through the range of workshops, activities and interactive panels, you can have fun discovering the principles of science and technology, and how they contribute to improving the quality of life.

At the L'Oceanografic (Oceanographic Park) you can travel round the main seas and oceans of the planet from the Arctic to the Antarctic. More than 45,000 examples of 500 different marine species – including sharks, Beluga whales, walruses, sea lions, penguins and manta rays – inhabit nine underwater towers containing the most important aquatic ecosystems of the planet. As you explore the Park, you will pass through the tropical latitudes of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean Sea. You can also take a submarine ride through a coastal marine habitat.

You will get a closer view of the marine world and learn about the biodiversity and fragility of the ocean’s ecosystems. It is also possible to enjoy a dolphin show (depending on the time of visit) as the Park also contains Europe's largest Dolphinarium.

The ticket is valid for the entire day so you can choose to come and go as you please. At the end of the day you must make your own arrangements to return to your accommodation.
