CosmoCaixa-Museu de la Ciència Fundació "La Caixa"

Fodor's Review:

Young scientific minds work overtime in this ever-more-interactive science museum, just below Tibidabo. Among the many displays designed for children seven and up are Geological Wall, a history of rocks and rock formations studied through a transversal cutaway section; and the Underwater Forest, showcasing the climate and species of an Amazonian rain forest in a large greenhouse. Expositions of sustainable exploitation techniques such as "The Red Line: How to Make Wood Without Damaging the Forest" are accompanied by explanations of environmental problems and how to correct them.

  • Cost: EUR 3.50 (EUR 2 per interactive activity inside)
  • Open: Tues.-Sun. 10-8
  • Metro: Avinguda de Tibidabo and Tramvía Blau halfway
