Had a great weekend this weekend and went to the Parque de Las Ciencas - Science Park Granada.
We left Saturday Morning and was there within a couple of hours...well maybe a little more as our companions decided to stop for breakfast at the services in Benalmadena.
For anyone that has been to the Parque de las Ciencias in the past...it has now been renovated and is quite alot bigger and better.
Saturday we took the tour bus around Granada, the bus is great as you get to see the city quickly and can then go back and investigate areas later. We ate, ate and ate some more...it did feel we were ordering food for the most part of Saturday. Have to say the food we had was very very good.
Sunday we arrived at the Parque de las Ciencias at 10am....parking outside or downstairs...keep your ticket and you get first 3 hours for 1 €uro. On paying your tickets you need to decide if you wish to go into the Planetarium...you pay a little extra 2.50€ and given a time.
The Park is huge and very impressive. Lots of different parts to it...and definately something for everyone. I think the favourite sections was the Human Body and the Animals (taxidermist). The Kids loved it.
The Planetarium is about half an hour....it was in Spanish and whilst it was absolutely amazing and relaxing....husband did have a bit of a kip in there....I didnt actually understand much of what was being said. However everything else was in English & Spanish.
There is a great little area for kids between 3 and 7, lots of things for the kids to play with outside too. We saved the animals until last and have to say this was the most incredible thing I and I think the majority of us have ever seen. They were real and upstairs you could see the taxidermist working. The way these animals were put together was incredible..it was a work of art.....photos coming soon.
The whole experience was brilliant and whilst could have done with a few more hours....from 10 till 3 was enough time walking around. You could definately go there over 2 days.
For 2 adults and 1 child price including tickets for plantearium was just 25€ very cheap we thought.
