City of Science
About This Museum
Tucked away in the industrial-tinged neighborhood of Catania, the City of Science (Città della Scienza) feels like a modern-day portal to discovery. It’s a vibrant, hands-on hub where kids aren't just looking at exhibits—they're launching rockets in the planetarium and building circuits with their own hands. The energy is palpable, a stark contrast to the city's ancient Baroque core. This is where curious minds, young and old, come to tinker and truly engage with the principles that shape our world.
Collection Highlights
The interactive physics playground lets you feel centrifugal force for yourself, while the immersive planetarium transports you across the galaxy. Don't miss the biology labs where you can peer through microscopes at the hidden life all around us.
