Valencia and the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències is one of the outstanding destinations in 2022 and the perfect getaway for the next long weekend. A spectacular environment and unique content with large-format projections, planetariums, exhibitions dedicated to music and space exploration, live experiments for all audiences and even a scientific musical theater that is as fun as it is interesting. Here are some proposals:

The new art exhibition brings together fifteen large-format sculptures by Igor Mitoraj in a sample that is freely accessible to the public. The exhibition is the new bet of the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències for urban and public art.

The Hemisfèric’s billboard includes large-format screenings such as ‘Amazon adventure’ and ‘Oceans’, nature documentaries to discover the exuberant Amazon region or take an extraordinary journey from the frozen shores of the Arctic to the warm waters of the tropics. Other options at the Hemisfèric are the film ‘The Enchanted Reef: Kaluoka’hina 3D’, ‘Walking with Dinosaurs: Prehistoric Planet 3D’, ‘Journey to Space. Next Stop Mars’ and ‘Secrets of the Universe’.

Planetarium for children ‘Astromenuts’

The Hemisfèric turns on Sundays at 12 noon into a spaceship waiting for the astronauts of the future. Children ages 3 to 6 discover the secrets of day and night, the phases of the Moon or the wonders contained in the constellations.

scientific musical theater

‘Ramona and Cajal. El secreto del Museu’ is the only scientific musical in Spain. The Science Theatre, Museu de les Ciències hosts this fun musical performance for families from Thursday to Sunday.

On the other hand, the new SOS Planeta workshop (from 10 years old) is dedicated to the environment and sustainability.
