For history buffs this is a must see. The travels of the Nina,Pinta, and Santa Maria are all on display with replicas of the boats and a life-size replica of a cabin so you can imagine what it was like to travel back then and explore new worlds. Fascinating history with photos, provision lists, artifacts and more

Visited on a day when the weather forecast was rainy without high expectations but was amazed by the diversity and quality of the interactive displays. These were as good if not better than I have seen in many big cities with a bonus of there not being big crowds so you have a go at most things without queuing. There were lots of hands on large scale classic physics apparatus plus some thrilling virtual reality experiences. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly with many speaking English. Most of the exhibits had English language descriptions. The top floor had interesting displays from the local university about their research particularly in relation to the marine environment and broader environmental issues. Overall excellent value for money

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 95 reviews
This is the house where writer and dramatist Benito Perez Galdos (1843-1920) was born. He is regarded as the most important Spanish writer after Cervantes, as well as the main representative of the literary Realism in Spain, like Balzac, Zola and Flaubert in France, Fontane in Germany and Dickens in the United Kingdom. The House - Museum features furniture, works of art, ornaments, etc. that show both one of the places where the novelist spent his daily life and the atmosphere of a typical 19 th-century house in the Canary Islands.

Nice items and explanations given. Some of the descriptions in English. Cano street is also a good spot for drinks and food. I recommend "Quitapesares Tasca" or "Shack". Enjoy!

Learn about the indigenous inhabitants of the Canaries through the informative and absorbing displays at this museum, which contains several mummified remains and over a thousand skulls.

Modest entry fee, the museum is well maintained and laid out on 2 floors. Exhibits are labelled but with no dates. The most surprising exhibits were the mummified remains.

This contemporary museum is a nice juxtaposition to the historical area of Vegueta around it. With free admission and regularly changing displays, sometimes controversial, it is always worth a visit. It provides a fresh and creative perspective of Las Palmas.

Reviewed By Valerio_and_Laura - Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain
Great place to have a little insight into the history of Canaries! The caves surprise you as going up the mountain one is not expecting to come across something so peculiar. Once you get to the top, the views are magnificent. Just take into consideration the opening hours as it closes quite early.
