The Oceanogràfic of Valencia and the Science Museum

Valencia for the Whole Family: Incredible Discoveries at Oceanogràfic and the Science Museum

If you're looking for a fun, educational, and unforgettable day out with your family or friends in Valencia, don’t miss the unique combo ticket to two of the city’s most popular attractions: Oceanogràfic, the largest aquarium in Europe, and the modern Príncipe Felipe Science Museum.

An Underwater Adventure at Oceanogràfic

This is no ordinary aquarium — it’s an ocean within the city. Home to over 27,000 marine animals from more than 750 species, Oceanogràfic offers an immersive journey through the world’s most important marine ecosystems. Among the highlights are the beluga whales, large white whales rarely seen elsewhere in Europe. Of special note are Plombir and Miranda, two belugas rescued during the war in Ukraine who now have a safe home in Valencia.

Stroll through spectacular underwater tunnels and come face-to-face with sharks, rays, and giant octopuses. Oceanogràfic impresses not only with its marine life but also with its stunning architecture — designed to resemble a water lily, the complex features spacious aquatic pavilions and open-air zones that transport you deep into the ocean’s atmosphere.

In addition to marine species, you can see penguins, flamingos, sea lions, and even dolphins, who perform in captivating live shows.

Where Science Comes to Life — Príncipe Felipe Science Museum

After exploring the ocean, it’s time to dive into the fascinating world of science. The Príncipe Felipe Science Museum spans four floors of interactive exhibits covering physics, biology, climate change, sound, biometrics, and space. Visitors of all ages can conduct their own experiments and learn through hands-on exploration.

Don’t miss the temporary exhibitions and the large exhibition hall featuring a life-size replica of a space station, where you can experience what it feels like to be an astronaut. The Electricity Theatre hosts exciting and educational science shows that both kids and adults will enjoy.

This combo experience is a perfect choice for families who want to not only have fun but also learn something new and inspiring.

Please note: Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times inside Oceanogràfic. Children under 5 are not permitted in the 4D Cinema. Both Oceanogràfic and the Science Museum are fully wheelchair accessible.
