Oceanogràfic + Science Museum + Hemisfèric

Oceanogràfic, the Science Museum, and Hemisfèric together form Valencia’s iconic City of Arts and Sciences, offering a full-day cultural and educational experience. This combo allows visitors to explore Europe’s largest aquarium, enjoy hands-on science exhibits, and watch immersive films inside a striking hemispherical cinema. The complex blends futuristic architecture with learning, entertainment, and discovery for all ages.
This venue is also included in select MegaPass options, making it easy to combine with other top attractions in Valencia.

The City of Arts and Sciences was developed in the late 20th century as a landmark cultural project for Valencia. Designed primarily by architect Santiago Calatrava, the complex transformed a former riverbed into one of Europe’s most recognizable science and culture hubs, attracting millions of visitors each year.

This combo offers exceptional variety in a single visit. Visitors can observe marine life from around the world, experiment with interactive science displays, and enjoy large-format films that bring astronomy, nature, and technology to life.

Combo tickets typically include access to all three attractions. Entry may be flexible across multiple days or scheduled on the same day, depending on ticket type. Film sessions at Hemisfèric usually require a reserved time slot.

Prices vary depending on visitor category and selected film experiences. Reduced rates may be available for children, seniors, or families. Prices can change seasonally and during school holiday periods.

Opening hours vary by attraction and season. Oceanogràfic and the Science Museum generally open in the morning, while Hemisfèric operates according to scheduled film screenings. Holiday schedules may affect hours.

The complex is located in Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences and is easily accessible by bus, tram, or bicycle. Several bus routes stop directly outside the attractions, and the area is well connected to the city center.
