We went to see Cristina De Vera exhibition which was a kind of pointillism style - I liked the two landscape paintings of Toledo best. Other unusual paintings on display. Building had amazing wooden floors and ceilings. Free after 5 on Friday afternoons.

Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos

Come to this unusual museum and discover the laws and principles that govern nature and the universe.

Reviewed By Neanderdalia - Berkshire, United Kingdom

It was soooo amazing! If you are into science and have kids of any (and I mean it – any) age with you, that’s the place to be. We have spent 3h in this museum and honestly – we could have spent twice as much. It’s very hands-on experience, there is even room for toddlers (toddler science – how cool is that??) to explore. My kids (5 & 8) had an amazing time in this museum and we will definitely return on our next visit to Tenerife.

Museo de Historia y Antropologia de Tenerife (Casa Lercaro)

A place for folk history and reflection on contemporary culture, for driving on the past of the island and recording the present.

Reviewed By R4935FDdavidb - El Barco de Avila, Spain

The building is the real star here - it has been beautifully restored and offers a great vision of wealthy life in the Canary islands. Add to this interesting exhibits covering the history of the islands and the life of the inhabitants over the last 500 years and this makes for a very worth while visit. The best of the local museums for my money. Admission was free.

Observatorio del Teide

Reviewed By 567alexanderp - Cambridge, United Kingdom

The day tour of the observatory is a good insight into its unique location and a chance to see solar eruptions (we did) or spot (we did not) through a telescope. Overall, informative and enjoyable. The night sky is very special, in particular before the moon rises. Dress warmly for the night tour, even in the middle of the summer.
