Parque de las Ciencias
Museum · Granada
Checked
Climb the 50-metre observation tower and the terrace hands you the Sierra Nevada. Below it, seventy thousand square metres hold a planetarium, a plastination lab, cinemas, and the workshops where the exhibits are built and restored.
The museum's original building, home to the Foucault Pendulum, opened on 8 May 1995 as the country's first science museum of its kind in Andalusia. It has grown since into a wider complex with a plastination lab and its own restoration and production workshops. The BioDomo, added in 2016, has drawn more than 1.8 million visitors since it opened. Its grounds include 27,000 square meters of gardens planted with more than 300 Mediterranean species, alongside a Tropical Butterfly House and a birds of prey display.
