The Oceanogràfic opened in the early 2000s as part of the City of Arts and Sciences. Its pavilions cover habitats from the Mediterranean and wetlands to the polar seas, and the walk between them is mostly outdoors. The official site gives about four hours for the visit. Dolphin presentations and other scheduled experiences run at set times, so check the timetable for your day.
