L'Oceanogrāfic invites us to travel around the planet's main seas and oceans. More than 45,000 examples of 500 different marine species - amongst which can be found sharks, Beluga whales, walruses, sea lions, penguins and manta rays - inhabit nine underwater towers that, structured in two levels, represent the most emblematic ecosystems of the planet.
The park, created as a great leisure, training and research centre, is structured into ten great areas. The marine areas reflect the Mediterranean habitats, the polar oceans - the Arctic and the Antarctic, the islands, the tropical seas, the temperate seas and the Red Sea. Moreover, the park also has a spectacular dolphinarium, an auditorium - within which one can find the Red Sea aquarium - with an area for the mangrove swamps and another for the marshlands, and different garden areas, with more than 80 different plant species. And of course it also offers many different services such as shops and restaurants, amongst which should be highlighted the underwater restaurant where clients can have dinner surrounded by an immense aquarium.

Located in the centre of the lake, it is undoubtedly L'Oceanogrāfic's most emblematic restaurant.

The restaurant offers a refined and elaborate cuisine with a traditional Valencian gastronomy.

To visit the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum may take an average of 3 hours and the Oceanogrāfic approximately 4 hours, depending on your level of interest and motivation. Sessions at the Hemisfčric generally last about 45 - 50 minutes. The visit to the entire complex can be done in a single day, but to enjoy a more relaxed visit we suggest to take two or three days.
The City of Arts and Sciences is open 365 days of the year. The Museum and the Oceanogrāfic both open to the public at 10:00 and you can then visit at any time you like. At the entrance building to the Oceanogrāfic, next to the information point, we have a left-luggage service where you can leave your luggage or other belongings. It costs 2 per day and no pre-booking is required. At the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum we have a free cloakroom service but it does not accept luggage or similar items.
We hold several dolphin exhibition sessions a day. However, their times are subject to change due to large number of people or weather conditions. For this reason, we prefer that visitors ask at the Information Desk in the Entrance Building on the day of their visit, in order to avoid any confusion.
