Barcelona's science museum is one of the best in Europe, anchored by a genuine slice of Amazonian rainforest — a living, breathing flooded forest ecosystem inside the building. Interactive exhibits cover physics, geology, and biology with real intelligence rather than dumbed-down gimmicks. It's excellent for adults as much as children. Caveat: weekends with school groups can be very noisy; weekday mornings are far more pleasant.
