What people say

"The “city” is an ultramodern arts and sciences complex surrounded by streams and pools designed by world-renowned local architect Santiago Calatrava at the far eastern end of the Turia greenbelt and includes 6 main sites. - Palau de les Arts (2005): opera house, music hall and performing arts center; - Hemisfèric (1998): large hall with IMAX cinema and laser and planetary digital projections shows; - Museu de las Cièncias (2000): science museum with interactive exhibitions and scientific activities; - Umbracle (2000): gardened esplanade and exhibition zone over shops and parking beneath; - Àgora (2009): performance, event and exhibition hall; - Oceanogràfic (2003): Europe’s largest aquarium"
"✏️The City of Arts and Sciences offers many things to see, but a must see is the Oceanografic, which is famous because it is one of the largest aquariums in Europe. Also, the Prince Felipe Science Museum is an interactive science and technology museum. The museum features a variety of interactive exhibits covering topics such as life sciences, physical sciences, technology and energy. Exhibits involve visitor participation and include interactive experiments and games that help visitors better understand the principles of science and technology. 🕒The schedule and prices differ depending on the date of visit and can be consulted at the links below.

"If you like to create content, I would suggest getting there around 8ish so that you have time to go around and make your videos and pics without people. It will not be open yet, but a lot of content opportunities, and it will be so peaceful. The tickets for the Science Museum and the Hemispheric start at euro €6.70 each, while the Oceanografic starts at €25. I decided to just visit the Oceanographic and to enjoy the rest of them from the outside only, but if you are a family you might like it all. "
