At a Glance
Tour Details
This combined ticket grants access to two of Valencia's most notable attractions within the City of Arts and Sciences complex: the Oceanogràfic and the Hemisfèric. Visitors begin their visit at the Oceanogràfic, the largest aquarium in Europe, which houses a diverse range of marine ecosystems and species from the Mediterranean, Arctic, and tropical oceans. The journey continues indoors at the Hemisfèric, an IMAX cinema and planetarium offering a variety of films and presentations focused on astronomy and natural sciences. While there is no fixed route, guests typically spend several hours moving between the two venues, which are located just a few minutes' walk apart within the futuristic architectural park designed by Santiago Calatrava.
At Oceanogràfic, visitors pass through themed underwater habitats such as the Arctic with its icy landscapes and beluga whales, the Red Sea coral reefs lively with colorful fish, and the underwater tunnel where sharks and rays swim overhead. The experience includes encounters with dolphins in the open pools and a visit to the outdoor aviary housing flamingos and other birds. At Hemisfèric, attention shifts to the celestial with immersive IMAX screenings that fill the domed theatre, complemented by a digital planetarium that projects the night sky and cosmic phenomena with remarkable clarity. The combination allows guests to appreciate both marine life up close and the vastness of space within one visit.
This ticket is self-guided, allowing visitors to move at their own pace and spend as much time as desired at each site. Group sizes vary widely as visitors enter independently, and guides are not typically provided unless arranged separately. The two sites are accessible on foot via paved paths within the City of Arts and Sciences complex, and there are ample facilities including cafes and rest areas. The ticket is valid for one day, encouraging a full-day itinerary to take in both attractions comfortably.
This tour suits individuals and families interested in science, nature, and cinematic presentations who appreciate detailed exhibits and audiovisual experiences. It is ideal for visitors who enjoy walking and wish to combine an educational visit with a relaxed day observing marine creatures and watching large-format films. The attraction is also well-suited for school groups and anyone looking for an engaging indoor activity that can accommodate different interests in one location.
