El Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe (City of Arts and Sciences)
- Prince Philip Science Museum
El Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe, an interactive science museum with impressive architecture that resembles the skeleton of a whale and covers 40,000 m². This is the most massive of the structures and is situated in the center of the science area, 220m long, 80m wide and 55 m high. It opened in 2000 and was designed by Calatrava. It is surrounded by part of the Turia Gardens. Manuel Toharia, a Spanish screen writer and TV personality, is the director of the museum. We visited the museum, part of a combined ticket. In the museum you find interactive experiments, models of rockets and other space structures, two airplanes, an air balloon, gravity experiments, new born chickens, an ant colony, a Marvel exhibtion and massive bright open public areas among many other things. Parts of it were a bit noisy due to large school classes visiting.
