Personally , going back, I would not have taken the combo with science museum because we came out tired from the oceanographic but otherwise all wonderful! Congratulations on the organization!

Purchasing tickets for the Oceanogràfic was super easy and fast! The website is clear and well organized, with all the necessary information at my fingertips. I was able to easily choose the date and time of my visit, and I received my tickets directly via email within minutes. No queues at the entrance: all I had to do was show the QR code from my smartphone. A convenient and stress-free experience that made visiting one of Europe's most fascinating marine attractions even more enjoyable. Highly recommended

Beautiful!!! To have recreated the most natural environment possible for all that is our heritage. Exciting dolphin show

The aquatic museum is part of a larger whole named Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències. The complex is divided into zones that reproduce the marine environments found on Earth.It had been many years since I had been to the aquarium and d was nice to go through the tunnel and see the fish up close, something I would never do in life because I am afraid.
Architecturally it is truly spectacular and it deserves for that alone.

Accidently booked wrong movie in Hemispheric- was IMPOSSIBLE to change it later as:
1) no one on this company answers the phone
2) nor email.....?
Once call was transferred to UK?
So, don't expect any human assistance if buting tickets here....
Other than that, bar codes worked well and we entered all places easily.

The simulation of being in a spaceship and feeling that pressure at take-off was spectacular! We queued for a while, but it was worth it!
