National Museum of Science and Technology

Loved it! There's nothing better than an interactive museum where one can learn, play and have fun all in one!
Entrance is free which is also great.

There are some exhibitions and workshops that aren't free and also a planetarium which costs 3€.

I would recommend to get your tickets in advance if you are interested in visiting the planetarium as it does get full pretty quick, specially on the weekends.

If you are adults going by yourself and can avoid the weekends, I would say: avoid them! You are gonna get stuck behind lots of kids trying out the experiments and won't let you play as much as you want. So take care of your inner child and visit the museum during the week.

There are lockers to leave your belongings if you wish to, just be aware some keys don't have number tags so you will have to remember the number. It might sound obvious (we thought so too) but then we saw a few people trying to open every locker as they couldn't remember their number.

All in all: a great museum!

Entrance is free. There’s a small fee for the planetarium and some other experience. There weren’t too many people. It was a Thursday, early afternoon. The ground floor is a static exhibit. The kids didn’t care. We went up to the first floor to play with the interactive exhibits. This was much more fun. The kids played for about 30 minutes before one got bored and wanted to leave. I wanted to go into the planetarium but there was no consensus so we left. If your kids are curious, they will like this place. There’s enough to keep adults interested too.

Kids loved it! Some restrictions still apply due to covid which limits the options to interact with all experiments. Super friendly staff. Lockers available. Be there early. Get familiar with all offerings as they vary over time: Interactive tour, planetarium, temporary exhibits,...

Interesting and well equipped on the subject although the Deep Sky movie in the Planetarium was from 2015. The projectionist though was very informative and knowledgeable for an up to date explanation.

A must visit place ... plenty of things to do with science experiments

Entry fee - free for museum(though you have to take tickets) ; 3€ for planetarium

Have three floor - ground floor mostly old bike cars movie making and health care equipment’s

First floor is best part - have plenty of interesting things (explaining science concepts), any kid would love this place

Top floor have planetarium

There is a cafeteria as well on ground floor

Overall, a must visit place and ideal for a half day trip

Awesome place, for kids and adults alike. Lot of interesting items and experiments on display. All the labels and descriptions are Spanish. You'll need about an hour to cover the two floors. Entry is free to both these floors. If you speak Spanish, I highly recommend the planetarium on third floor (for EUR 3). There is also a picnic section on ground floor for kids and families to enjoy their meals.

Very nice museum, with very interesting facts. I miss a restaurant in site ti have lunch. There is a “picnic” area which is a room with tables and chairs and vending machines. The interactive area is very nice for children. The activities for children could be offered for children and accompanied adult as some kids (like mine 3 Y old) didn’t want to be on her own.

Very good science museum and planetarium.. its free to go in and explore except minimal fees for planetarium (3€).. must visit if you are in Alcobendas area with your family.. nicely maintained with most sign boards giving information in English as well as spanish..

Great experience for the whole family!!! A lot of interactive experiments to learn and to be amused!

Fantastic olace to visit with kids and curious people.

Many science museums around the world have issues with the state of things displayed, due to the amount of people circulating, but this one is a gem.

A lot you can learn, well-achieved experiments and very friendly staff to explain some of the phenomena.

Delighted to have visited.

The staff was extremely nice,fun place to visit with kids

Great fun place for kids. Very interactive!

Great experience for adults and kids alike. There is a screaming booth... Great to let your stress out and noone can hear you... LOL. Kids very hand on and the staff will explain what the things are for... Realy impressed. It was free entrance.

Superbe and mind opening! I could have stayed there a few more hours, it's a well of knowledge without bottom, and for all ages.

It was a great experience being there and one of the staff was so nice explaining how the things work. Entrance us free and there is a locker where you can leave your heavy bags so you won't be carrying them while on tour.

Highly recommendable, one of the most interactive science and technology museums I have ever been. Lots of exhibits where children and adults alike can touch and feel how physics principles work. Free entrance. Scheduled workshops require a fee but are enjoyable mostly for the little ones. The attachment is a video with a demo where cosmic particles hitting a gas are shown!

Great museum with plenty of interesting hands-on experiments for kids and adults. Sessions for kids are great too. The only thing missing is a real cafeteria, there is only a picnick room with vending machines and a microwave. Overall great experience, will come back for sure. Before the visit check the times of presentations and kids workshops. They are worth it and cost little (3 eur). General entrance is free.

I must visit! Such a wonderfully interactive museum which helps kids and adults see concepts in an easier way. There are cool workshops and the planetarium offering many shows. Love it! There is a 'vending machine in a room to eat picnics.

Very nice!!!

Excellent presentation of technological artifacts and scientific experiments plus a planetarium and exhibition halls
