Museo de las Ciencias Príncipe Felipe
About This Museum
People don't just come to the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum to see science; they come to touch it, experience it, and be genuinely astonished by it. From the moment you walk into that vast, sun-drenched atrium, you're surrounded by pulsing energy and the sound of excited discovery. You might find yourself gripping a handle to generate your own electricity one minute, then walking through a giant human heart the next. It’s less a quiet hall of artifacts and more a vibrant playground for the mind, leaving you with a renewed sense of wonder about how the world works.
Collection Highlights
The 'Chromosome Forest' is a stunning walk-through exhibit that makes genetics visually spectacular, while the 'Zero Gravity' challenge lets you test your physical strength in surprising ways. Don't miss the Tesla coil demonstrations, where massive bolts of man-made lightning crackle through the air with thrilling intensity.
Visitor Information
It's located within Valencia's jaw-dropping City of Arts and Sciences complex—you really can't miss the building. Wear comfortable shoes because you'll be on your feet for hours, and definitely check the schedule for live experiments when you arrive; they're well worth planning your day around.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a masterpiece of modern architecture, resembling a colossal whale skeleton or a futuristic ship's hull, designed by Santiago Calatrava. Its brilliant white facade and extensive use of glass create an incredibly bright and airy interior that feels both monumental and inviting.
