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.

I loved Oceanografic so much! If you visit Valencia make sure to check this out. It's so big and I was never board. So many animals & everyone there was so friendly. We also loved the dolfin show. You also learn a lot here. What you have to do if an animal needs help and what we can do against global warming. Truly great experience
