The experience

What you'll see

The Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (City of Arts and Sciences) is Valencia's flagship cultural complex — a series of Santiago Calatrava buildings set in a long reflecting pool. This 3-in-1 ticket covers the three main scientific attractions.

Oceanogràfic

Europe's largest aquarium, with 45,000 animals across 500 species. Its signature features:

Shark tunnel: walk through an underwater tunnel as sharks and rays pass overhead.
Beluga whale enclosure: one of the few places in Europe to see beluga whales.
Arctic and Antarctic habitats: penguins, walruses and polar species in climate-controlled environments.

Hemisfèric

An IMAX dome cinema inside Calatrava's eye-shaped building. The dome screen creates an immersive visual experience during documentary screenings.

Museu de les Ciències

An interactive science museum housed in Calatrava's 'skeleton' building — Spain's most impressive science museum for children and adults alike.

Who it's for

Families with children of any age.
Architecture enthusiasts who want to see Calatrava's masterpiece from the inside.

Who it's not for

Visitors with only a few hours in Valencia: this complex needs a full day.

Accessibility

Fully wheelchair accessible throughout the complex.

Cancellation policy

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before with full refund.

Frequently asked questions

Can I visit all three in one day?

Yes, but it's a full day. The Oceanogràfic alone needs 3–4 hours. Start at opening and plan your Hemisfèric screening time in advance.

What is the Hemisfèric?

The Hemisfèric is an IMAX dome cinema inside a building shaped like a giant eye. The dome screen covers your entire field of vision; documentary screenings are shown throughout the day.
