The dolphin show was something magical! I have seen the oceanarium also un Dubai and Portugal, all were different and amazing in their ways. I wished to see less people, I had the feeling sometimes that the air by the sharks and fishes was less,but was weekend, I can also understand. I liked the elevators, with stroller was easy to visit everything. The playground for kids can be a bit bigger.

Wonderful, delightful oceanarium and dolphin shows. I bought a combination ticket oveanaroumni museum of science and technology. Very much to go on foot, it is impossible to visit everything at once. But overall impressions super. Museum of technology moderately interesting. I miss the star observatory in such a place.

What I loved most about this experience was recognizing the extreme variety of life forms in existence, their specificity and the cosmic dance in which each individual participates in his or her species-specific uniqueness that nevertheless amalgamates in the indissoluble connection to a group of belonging together with others. It was a fantastic experience that gave me joy and playfullness. Thank you

The Oceanogràfic was very interesting and engaging for the whole family, especially the children, who were enchanted by the aquatic environments.

Overall, a good day, although with some room for improvement on the organization

The visit to the oceanographic was really wonderful, the children were open-mouthed and had a great time. Unfortunately we lingered a little too long so the visit to the science museum was pretty quick. Of the children's museum nice second floor, something of the third floor but the second floor is safely skippable.

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 is very scattered, I was always afraid I had missed something to see, even a guideline on the ground would have helped. I didn't want to miss anything but I always had the doubt that it would happen, either at oceanographic or the science museum. There was the map at oceanographic but a line on the ground guiding you all the way around was not a bad idea

Stefano
Jun 2025Verified booking
The experience was overall very positive: the attractions are engaging and well organized, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The "combo" offer that allows one to experience all three of the available attractions is an excellent opportunity to fully immerse oneself in the experience. However, there are a few small touches that, if implemented, could improve it further. In particular, integrate other languages to those already available. Italian I believe could be implemented. It would be helpful if more details regarding the time required to complete the combined experience were provided on the official website; this would help visitors plan better for the day and have clearer expectations. Based on customer experience, it might be helpful to explicitly state that the entire route takes a reasonable amount of time to be fully enjoyed. In addition, clearer and more widespread signage within the facility-not only in the immediate vicinity of attractions, but also along the approach routes-would facilitate orientation and make the experience even smoother and more enjoyable. Overall, a very good proposal with excellent potential for growth through a few targeted improvements.

I really liked the museum and the Oceanogràfic, what was not worth it was the projection of the Hemisfèric. Personally I liked the movie, it was good but I don't think I would have paid that price if I knew beforehand what I was going to see, I would have preferred to use that time to continue touring the complex and the museum, which I didn't get to see everything. In addition, my companions, who do not speak Spanish, were not able to have the same experience as I did because the headphones provided do not cancel the sound of the film, and it was difficult for them to understand the translation. And, although I liked the screening, I might have chosen another one. When tickets are purchased, it should be made clear which film is included in order to be able to choose more according to one's tastes.

The dolphin show was something magical! I have seen the oceanarium also un Dubai and Portugal, all were different and amazing in their ways. I wished to see less people, I had the feeling sometimes that the air by the sharks and fishes was less,but was weekend, I can also understand. I liked the elevators, with stroller was easy to visit everything. The playground for kids can be a bit bigger.

We liked everything, I only have one suggestion and that is that with this combo you should allow the entrance 2 days one is not enough and less if you go with children.
