About
Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos is the museum to keep in reserve when Tenerife gives you rain, heat or children who need to touch things instead of walking past another church. It sits on the Santa Cruz-La Laguna tram corridor and mixes hands-on physics, astronomy, temporary activities and a small planetarium add-on.
- Time needed:
- 1.5-3 hours
- Entry fee:
- Paid museum entry; planetarium is usually a small add-on
- Transport:
- Near the Santa Cruz-La Laguna tram corridor
- Parking:
- Use museum or university-area parking and allow a few extra minutes
- Best time:
- Morning with children, or a paid slot if you want calmer rooms
- Weather:
- Strong indoor backup for rain, heat or wind
- Interesting fact:
- The museum links everyday experiments with astronomy rather than relying only on display cases
- Best use:
- A school-age family stop when beach or viewpoint plans are losing appeal
The charm is practical rather than polished: some exhibits can feel worn, but when the working stations and planetarium line up, it becomes one of the easiest family indoor plans on the island.

Guest review summary
Commonly mentioned by visitors.
Families like that children can test, press and move through the science exhibits rather than only read panels.
The planetarium can lift the whole visit when the timing and language work for your group.
The tram-side location makes it useful as a no-car indoor plan between Santa Cruz and La Laguna.
Some interactive stations may be tired or out of service, so expectations matter.
Planetarium value depends on the current timetable and session language.
Food options are limited enough that it is worth planning meals separately.

A great experience, for kids and adults. Really interesting and highly interactive display of human achievements, technology, physics, space... spent an entire afternoon there. Entrance fee is cheap, they also have a children playroom with even more interactive stuff. Highly recommended.

A small but well-designed museum, ideal for families with children. It offers interactive physics exhibits that keep kids engaged, plus a planetarium show explaining the formation of the universe and the Earth. A short, educational, and enjoyable visit. A good place to spend some time on a rainy day.

Although not all exhibits were working (including the planetarium), this was a fun and educational trip out. It's not huge and there is no food outlet except for the vending machines but our 5 year old loved it and found plenty to occupy him. Probably a rainy day activity, all the information cards are in Spanish and there is no obvious car parking - we parked at the supermarket across the road! But still a surprisingly enjoyable visit and only €7 for the 4 of us.

Lovely place with a lot of very interesting exhibits and things for kids to try. A number though were not working properly and it is a shame that they haven't put any of the information in other languages (we did OK but would have helped the kids, there is a QR code you can scan at the start but understandably the kids just wanted to get stuck in). There is also a telescope that there was no information on or interaction with. Would recommend but a few missed opportunities.

Ah it’s very interactive but at least 8 of the exhibitions were out of action. The costs is 5 for adult or 3.50 per child unless you go at the free times on Friday or Saturday. All the exhibits are in Spanish and need to download the the translations.

Best for changing a plan
This is one of the simplest ways to change a north-east itinerary when weather turns: it is indoors, easy to reach and more active for children than a standard gallery.

Is Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos good for children?

Is the planetarium included?
Usually no. Planetarium entry is normally a small add-on and depends on the session timetable, so check the schedule if it is important to your visit.

Can I visit without a car?
