Museo de las Ciencias

Cuenca


This family-friendly science museum should pacify kids who are bored with churches and monasteries. While not large, it has well-presented interactive gadgets relating to space, fossils and even a time machine. Best of all, there's an excellent planetarium with hourly sessions (10.30am to 1.30pm and 4.30pm to 6.30pm).
