We loved the aquarium! The experience was unique, and everyone should visit it while in Valencia. Be sure to see the dolphin show — such a touching moment. I wouldn’t recommend visiting the Science Museum. Many of the exhibitions were only in Spanish. Unfortunately, we missed our scheduled time for the Hemisfèric due to poorly provided information during the booking process on the Headout app. Although we contacted the company, we were unable to reschedule the activity. The refund was issued as app credits, which is better than nothing, but I’m still not satisfied. The misleading information and missing the activity really made me feel sad that day.

We liked everything, I only have one suggestion and that is that with this combo you should allow the entrance 2 days one is not enough and less if you go with children.

The dolphin show was something magical! I have seen the oceanarium also un Dubai and Portugal, all were different and amazing in their ways. I wished to see less people, I had the feeling sometimes that the air by the sharks and fishes was less,but was weekend, I can also understand. I liked the elevators, with stroller was easy to visit everything. The playground for kids can be a bit bigger.
