Little ones have different recreational choices at the City of Arts and Sciences. At the Museum's "Children's Area(l'Espai dels xiquets)" visitors experiment with their senses, water, the animal world, and they build their own home; all this without any extra costs to the Museum ticket. It is a dedicated area, exclusively for children aged 3-8, where they can play and experiment under supervision by specialised instructors. It is completed by nearby exhibition modul: "Welcome to life" is a macro-incubator in which chicks come out of their eggs every 10 minutes.
At the Oceanographic Park, children can see the species in the aquariums and the dolphins at the largest Dolphinarium in Europe. The exhibitions are equipped with explanatory panels which describe to children, in their own language and handwriting, the ecosystems displayed and their dwellers. Among other proposals, Mediterranean, allows children to really feel the waves at the ¿wave breaker¿: children enter the aquarium through a tunnel protected by an acrylic bell. They can see for themselves how waves break and feel the water hitting the rocky cliffs and the strong turbulence. And the youngest children will love "Animalia Passport"a guided tour to learn about dolphins and sea lions, or the activity "Sleeping with Sharks"
And, at the Umbracle, they will be able to enjoy Garden of Astronomy a open-access area within the Umbracle that complements other astronomy-related elements and activities of the City of Arts and Sciences. By means of models, interpretive panels and hands-on, interactive astronomical instruments, the City of Arts and Sciences presents the basic principles of astronomy, familiar to scientists since antiquity.
Room is also made for senior citizens at the City of Arts and Sciences. Watching a film at the Hemisfèric,attending one of the sessions of Science on Stage at the Science Museum or visiting the exhibitions in the Museum, are just some ideas for a great day.
The significant part placed by architecture has been possible thanks to the outstanding work of two Spanish architects of international prestige: Santiago Calatrava with the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía (Opera House), Hemisfèric (Imax and Full Dome), Science Museum, Umbracle, (Promenade and Car Park), and the Agora, and Félix Candela with the striking roofs of the main buildings of the Oceanográfico (Aquarium).
