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.

It was short. And there is so much to see. It would be nice if the sessions were numbered because we were jumping up and down to sit down, but otherwise we will repeat.

I was not able to see the movie at the Hemisferic as it was full. When purchasing tickets online I was not able to choose a specific movie so I did not make a reservation. Others were able to make a reservation for a movie at a certain time.

The purchase was very simple and on my cell phone I had the codes to access the chosen sites, another thing is that the exhibitions at the Science Museum were a real drag and that the movie about the sea in the Hemisferic can be compared to any documentary that is broadcast in a normal cinema.

Top things to do in Valencia

Hemisfèric is a must-visit attraction in the ​City of Arts and Sciences, Spain. This spectacular theater hall, designed by Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava, features a state-of-the-art IMAX Dome that offers visitors an immersive sensory experience. The unique oval-shaped landmark is a sight to behold and has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in Valencia.

Things to know before booking your Hemisfèric Valencia tickets

  • You’ll be asked to select a time slot when booking—this is for your chosen film at Hemisfèric. 
  • Since each IMAX show has limited seating and a fixed schedule, it's smart to have a couple of backup film options in case your first choice is unavailable.
  • The venue provides 3D glasses and headphones before the show begins. Be sure to return them after the session to avoid an extra fee. It’s also best to arrive at least 15 minutes early to secure a good seat, as they are unassigned.
  • If you're sensitive to motion or light effects, keep in mind that some 4D films include moving seats, sound vibrations, and environmental effects like wind or water. These experiences are not recommended for pregnant visitors, children under 4, or guests with heart conditions, hearing loss, or vertigo.
  • To make the most of your visit, consider going for the Oceanogràfic + Science Museum + Hemisfèric combo perfect for a full day of exploration. All three venues are located in Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences, so it’s easy to walk between them.
  • Are you a fan of science? If so for for the Hemisfèric + Science Museum combo Keep in mind that your selected time slot applies only to Hemisfèric. You can visit the Science Museum anytime during opening hours.
  • Oceanogràfic is Spain’s largest aquarium, so we recommend going for the Oceanogràfic + Hemisfèric combo , especially if you’re traveling with little children.
