Its state-of-the-art PLANETARIUM 3D capable of seating 140 is a very useful tool for teaching astronomy and for offering immersive cinema entertainment.

There is also a fun area which can surprise the visitor with its Roller Coaster simulators.

This is a really great science museum, full of interactive exhibits such as an exhibition of plasticised body parts and even a live animal display (which was only available for an hour, so the animals presumably had more space to roam around during the rest of the day)! It managed to make topics that usually bore our children, such as electricity or levers, very engaging and fun. It's easily reached from the centre of town by bus, and you could easily stay for 3-4 hours. There's a restaurant next door that does really good Spanish food including tapas, without being over-priced as some museum restaurants can be. All the descriptions are in English and French as well as Spanish and Basque. We went there expecting it to be a small-town museum but it compares very well to science museums in other European capital cities!
