Parque de las Ciencias

The Science Park is an interactive museum, the first of its type in southern Spain and an example for teaching about science at a European level.

Just a few minutes from the historic centre of Granada and spanning 70,000 square metres, it has become one of the main cultural and tourist attractions in Andalusia and the most visited museum.

Formed by a wide range of permanent and temporary exhibitions, it is a place where visitors, regardless of their age, learn by taking part in a number of activities.

The Science Park is comprised of various areas:

- Macroscopio. This is the new building which has increased the facilities of the Science Park. The different exhibition areas are distributed around the buildng, starting with the large entrance hall

- Péndulo de Foucault Building. Mechanics, physics, chemistry and geology are the main features of the exhibition rooms in this building, where it is “forbidden not to touch.”

- Outdoor / Butterflys / Birds of Prey in flight. The Science Park opens onto the outside with over 27,000m2 of green areas. The Garden of Astronomy, the Dynamic Sculptures, the Energies Area, the mechanics and perception models and other outdoor games comprise the outside spaces.

- Temporary Exhibitions. More than 5,000 m2 spread out amongst its different-sized exhibition rooms.

- The BioDome is a Window to Life that focuses mainly on the biodiversity of the planet. It's a space for understanding the relationships between living beings and the environment they inhabit, as well as the mechanisms that sustain life and the need to preserve it. It is an immersive space, with living beings as the main focus, but most of all, it is a place for environmental education, species conservation and scientific research.

The Science Park offers its facilities for holding events and activities. It has a multitude of rooms, both in the Macroscope and in the Foucault Pendulum Building, the Andalusian Environmental Center (CEAMA), the Milky Way restaurant, and the outdoor areas. It also features unique spaces such as the Planetarium, the Astronomical Observatory and the Ibn al-Jatib Room.
