5. CosmoCaixa
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4,120 reviews
CosmoCaixa offers its visitors a whole host of activities and permanent and temporary exhibitions to give anyone who is interested a greater insight into the world of science. The museum’s most distinctive attractions include the new permanent exhibition “The Universe Gallery” where visitors can learn about the cosmos and its evolution from the big bang to the present day. An interactive experience beginning with the creation of the cosmos and going on to explore the evolution of the species and the innermost workings of the human brain. The "Flooded Forest” recreates the ecosystem of the Amazon inside a glass house covering an area of 1,000 m2, which is home to piranhas, crocodiles and other animal and plant species typical of the area, and the “Geological Wall” consists of seven vast sections of genuine rock that allow us to interpret the world’s geology.

Entry is only €4 per person (adult) which is a bargain then you can pay extra for certain exhibits such as a planetarium. There is enough to see and do without these but if you have children it is worth considering as they seemed to be more aimed at kids. The main attraction is the flooded forest which was beautiful to see and the second main attraction was a large science room with a great many interactive activities which were entertaining and educational for children and adults alike. If you do have children you could easily spend a good few hours and make a day of it. As two adults we spent far longer here than at the aquarium and so this museum is very good value for money. Didn't have any issues as an english speaker as all information signs had full English translations. There's lots to do and learn for children and I imagine it would keep them well entertained. I would also recommend adults without children to visit, as there is much to reflect and learn about as an adult whether it is about protecting our rainforests, the increasing reliance on robot technology or even to just remember your childish curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. A bit out of the way of the main more touristy parts of the city but easy enough to get to on the metro then a short walk (but be warned that it is uphill). Has picnic and restaurant facilities.

10. Centre d'Interpretacio les barraques del Delta
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4 reviews
The centre is given over to the history of the shacks. It takes us on a historical and cultural itinerary through this unique, millennial vernacular architecture, regarded as a symbol of the territory. These buildings, made of materials found in the area, were the homes of the inhabitants of the flat lands of the Delta for centuries.
