Elder Museum of Science and Technology

9/12/25 Tuesday afternoon- Museo of Technology We two middle aged guys from London are interested in science and technology and had heard from a friend this was a good museum. In fact we were to meet him after our visit (about 5pm) as he was arriving from Maspolomas. We arrived at 3:45 to an empty of people museum. I paid by card for the two of V us (only €4 each as both over 65). Inside I saw a display of events and demonstrations. My friend needed a sit down after the long walk. I asked the reception about what was on and she explained a science based cooking session was on the first floor in a white room. We checked out the colourful and informative exhibition on the creation of the Canary Islands and headed by lift to the first floor white kitchen room where we took a sat down on a tiered bench. A family of six also joined us. At 4 a bubbly guy entered and processed to amaze us with cooking popcorn in a microwave and then chilling it in liquid nitrogen! 12 minutes later we were eating it. We thanked him and said we only partially understood his rapid delivery of his routine whereby he said we should have told him so he would have showed down and added English. He then gave us a personal tour of the skeletons from a veterinary school. By then we had only half an hour to explore most of the museum. Whilst we were given the skeleton tour we noticed a presenter in one of the VR demonstrations waiting for participants. By the time we got to the display she was gone and I had to get the receptionist to call her back do we could fit in the Ricky's Plank Walk and the White Water Canoe experience before we had to leave to see our friend outside. Luckily she came quickly and the activities were great, just try them. There is no judging if you 'fail'. We only had a few minutes to take the lady to the top and work our way down by the back stairs. The other exhibitions were very good and informative. The poisons one especially curated well as lots of information and artefacts with English translations. We did not have time for the planetarium. We saw our friend waiting outside from the top balcony and told him we needed another ten minutes. This place deserves at least a couple of hours to do it justice. Unfortunately half the poisons exhibition was closed for some reason. Even at €8 each it is worth it for the experiences alone! Enjoy!

For such a looow price, this place is AWESOME! Perfect for children, students, or curious people. A lot of exhibits about science and also history! The interactive ones are such a great experience. The temporary exhibit was also really cool, each floor giving you many new different things to learn about. Also great staff! Very friendly and helpful. The only downside would be the lack of English descriptions. Some exhibits do have English text.

I absolutely love this museum. It was a great get away from the heat and discovering the history of the Canary Islands 🇮🇨. With my little one really enjoyed how interactive this museum was with stimulation programmes, movies, knowing more about the starts with a projector presentation, checking our body composition. However some of the parts were closed, and not many things were translated to English. I know we were in Spain, I am desperate to speak Spanish. The overall experience was great we spent 3 hours discovering the whole place.

Really cool musuem, worth a visit if nearby or pulled up into the port! Good value and lots to see. The poison exhibition was brilliant

Brilliant place for kids! Went twice while on holiday in Las Palmas, fun games and interactive technology! Science show and planetarium too! Also colouring and a beautiful butterfly room

Cool for all ages kids museum! Highly recommend. Perfect staff. 1 bad thing-there’s no cafeteria inside solo 1 wending with poor choice(

Small but nice. All explanations text are in Spanish but the people working there speak English.

So much fun! Awesome museum, very interactive and fun for both kids and adults. Our daughter is 3.5 and she loved it.
