CosmoCaixa Barcelona is an interactive science museum at Carrer d'Isaac Newton, 26, in Barcelona, Catalonia. It is also known as the Science Museum CosmoCaixa, and it suits visitors who like to learn by doing as well as those who simply enjoy exploring.
What to expect
- A planetarium, for a look at the night sky and the wider universe.
- A rainforest exhibit, which brings a tropical environment indoors.
- Hands-on scientific experiments, which invite you to test ideas and see results for yourself.
Who it suits
The museum is popular with families, and children tend to enjoy the interactive displays, which give them something to try rather than only to look at. Science enthusiasts will also find plenty to engage them across the different areas of the museum.
Because the content is spread across a planetarium, a living rainforest and a range of experiments, a visit can easily fill a good part of a day. If you are planning to see the planetarium, it is sensible to check its timing when you arrive, so you can fit it into your route around the rest of the museum.
Planning your visit
CosmoCaixa is located in the Sant Cugat area on the north side of Barcelona, so it works well as a stop away from the busier central streets. For questions before you go, you can call the museum on +34 932 126 050.
