Pro tips to help you make a pick

Combine your visit with the nearby Science Museum or Oceanogràfic for a full day of discovery.

If you plan to visit multiple attractions (e.g., Science Museum, Hemisfèric, Oceanogràfic), opt for a combo ticket. It’s more cost-effective than buying individual entry tickets.

Tickets to IMAX and planetarium shows include a scheduled time slot. Choose your preferred film and language when booking to avoid last-minute changes.

Some tickets have timed entry. Plan your visit so you start with the most time-sensitive attraction (e.g., a film at Hemisfèric or Oceanogràfic's dolphin show) and visit others at your own pace.

I really enjoyed visiting the Oceanographic. It was a great experience, with interesting exhibits and a nice atmosphere. Everything was well organized, it was clean, and the people were very respectful. I felt really good there and would recommend it to others.

Hemisferic and Oceanografic are two exceptional experiences. The layout of Oceanografic, with both indoor and outdoor areas, is a real highlight. The species on display in the highly sophisticated aquariums are remarkable—the belugas, for example. The only downside: the signage inside Oceanografic’s indoor areas needs a complete overhaul!

It was a really awesome experience, especially the science museum! It's just a shame there were a few too many people at the aquarium—it's better to go during the week rather than on the weekend.
