We loved the aquarium! The experience was unique, and everyone should visit it while in Valencia. Be sure to see the dolphin show — such a touching moment. I wouldn’t recommend visiting the Science Museum. Many of the exhibitions were only in Spanish. Unfortunately, we missed our scheduled time for the Hemisfèric due to poorly provided information during the booking process on the Headout app. Although we contacted the company, we were unable to reschedule the activity. The refund was issued as app credits, which is better than nothing, but I’m still not satisfied. The misleading information and missing the activity really made me feel sad that day.

It was short. And there is so much to see. It would be nice if the sessions were numbered because we were jumping up and down to sit down, but otherwise we will repeat.

I was not able to see the movie at the Hemisferic as it was full. When purchasing tickets online I was not able to choose a specific movie so I did not make a reservation. Others were able to make a reservation for a movie at a certain time.

The purchase was very simple and on my cell phone I had the codes to access the chosen sites, another thing is that the exhibitions at the Science Museum were a real drag and that the movie about the sea in the Hemisferic can be compared to any documentary that is broadcast in a normal cinema.
