Casa de las Ciencias
About
Casa de las Ciencias is a modern interactive museum located in the Parque de Santa Margarita in A Coruña. Since opening in June 1985, it has enthralled visitors with hands‑on experiments that celebrate scientific curiosity, ranging from physics and astronomy to everyday mechanics. The museum’s central atrium houses the world‑famous Foucault pendulum, a perpetual demonstration of Earth’s rotation that never fails to captivate. A highlight of the museum is its planetarium, equipped with a Zeiss analog projector and state‑of‑the‑art digital visuals. Regular live sessions guide visitors on journeys through the cosmos, and tickets can be booked online in advance. The planetarium’s immersive storytelling is complemented by permanent galleries that showcase celestial phenomena, gravitational physics, and the enchanting world of oscillations. Casa de las Ciencias also offers educational programmes for school groups and family tours, making it an ideal destination for learners of all ages. With consistent opening hours from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and extended evenings during summer, the museum provides an inviting environment where science is brought to life through interaction and wonder.
