I feel bad putting this at a two. but, I must. Okay, so the architecture is amazing and it's fantastic for photo opportunities. So worth walking around the outside, it's just stellar. Inside? Well, to be quite honest, if you're above five years old there's not much here for you. I was pretty disappointed. I was hoping there'd be a... More

I could not go inside because I arrived too late and left the city too early but I had the chance to walk around the science museum and the oceanographic and all.. actually the building itself is an attraction. Don´t miss it! More

A must for taking photos.  I have done some wonderful shots here.  The place to me is a Venus Flytrap.  I love coming down here and just chilling.   More

A must see for Valencia, the buildings and setting are absolutely knock-out. Get the bus from the station. Clearly an absolute fortune has been spent on this complex (concert hall, 3D cinema, science centre). The 3D cinema looks great from the outside but the sound from the personal headset is abysmal, constantly breaking up and cutting out, partway through the... More

Outdated contents, very little interactive content, unhelpful staff and extremely poor organization makes this attraction what you would call a "huge pile of crap." Give this a miss and do something more interesting, like watch the park staff clean the pond. More

I was disappointed with this place. The building is amazing but its contents are tacky. Considering that this is an international attraction for the city of Valencia, there is little in the way of translation for any other languages. English is touched upon for each exhibit but little more. More

Impressive building - but filling it has clearly been a problem. The Exploratorium is the best area, good for hands-on science, but small and easily crowded, with several exhibits non-functional - a theme throughout the museum. English information is sometimes absent and the entire section on on Ramon Y Cajal is only in Spanish. Some timed activities did not seem... More

Went to the museum and it is still being built, there is a lot of construction going on around it on all sides. It is an impressive building and has great potential but there is not an awful lot to see at the moment although they do only charge around £4 or so to get in and the kids still... More
