My 11 year old son and I loved this place. The planetarium was interesting, although not spectacular. I'd say it's worth it if you're interested in stars and constellations. The biodome was definitely enjoyable. Lots of animals to see. The aquarium portions were very well done and enjoyable for gazing. The jungle portion was great and the animals were able to climb all over. Some small primate actually ran within 6 inches of me oas i walked along a railing. It was crazy! There's a butterfly garden, some hands on exhibits that teach physics, insects you can touch, water features for kids to play, and a lot more. It's really well designed. Plenty of room for kids to run outside. The cafeteria was excellent. I've never seen so many healthy options at a place where you're basically captive. You could an entire healthy meal and of course there are treats, good coffee, and all kinds of snacks.

We had a lovely time at this museum. The museum has a great biology section, the rest of it is okay, but there is an aquarium and a planetarium as well as a greenery section with a butterfly house which makes it a must visit. Things to be aware of Pre book the tickets, they get sold out There are separate tickets for the biodome and planetarium- pre book these! There are some talks / shows going on through the day ie a falconry show, Have a note of the timings of these, as you go through the your day. Driving there is really really easy, however the entrance of the car park is obscure, I’ve uploaded an imagine of the entrance from Google street view, 3 hours free which should be enough time to see everything.

Absolutely fantastic place! so much to see for all ages and interests and much of it is in the base price for the museum / general are of the park etc, we even went back a second time during our visit to the area as we found there were areas we still did not see the first time. You can add on extras like the Biodome and such which we did the Biodome the first time which was nice but I much prefer seeing animals in a more open outdoor environment but it was nice none the less and I think almost all animals looked happy and fine there. There were other special events/things you could see and do there at set times etc which were free and some paid so lots do still. One of the best parts about the place if you have children was the play area which was made to be educational and fun at the same time so it was nice to see and smart for parents as well! There is a huge cafe/canteen with a menu del dia (normally decent prices for these anywhere) but it was super cheap for our family of three to have a decent sized lunch between us all and the food was pretty tasty. Staff were very helpful and nice and the overall we really enjoyed the place and plan to come back again next time. Overall 9.5/10 for this place.

We visited the Granada Science Park (Parque de las Ciencias) and was thoroughly impressed. It's an excellent value for money and a perfect way to spend a full day, especially if you have young children. The highlight of my visit was the ESA space section. It's a fascinating exhibition showcasing a wide array of space-related artifacts and engaging videos. The planetarium show was also a spectacular experience, offering a breathtaking journey through the cosmos. Another must-see is the Bio-dome. This incredibly interesting exhibit is home to a diverse mix of marine life, tropical reptiles, and mammals, all housed in a beautiful, naturalistic environment. We also ventured up the observation tower for some incredible panoramic views of Granada. While the elevator was unfortunately out of order, the climb up in the 30°C heat was well worth it for the stunning vistas at the top. Overall, the Granada Science Park is a brilliant place to visit. It's educational, entertaining, and great for all ages. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Granada.

I came today to renew my Tarjeta Amiga family subscription and left without doing that due to the long queue at the ticket office. Spent 25 minutes waiting and reached only the middle of the line. Museum is great in general but it's ridiculous that only 3 ticket windows are opened with the hall full of people. From what I have seen before it is a common problem here on the weekends. Also it's funny that in a such technologically oriented place you can't buy tickets online and just enter (at least not for the family annual subscription which is my case)
