Museo Paleontológico de Castilla-La Mancha
It’s worth stepping away from the old town to experience more than 500 million years of natural history at the regional museum of paleontology. Life-size model dinosaurs roam the grounds in front of a contemporary structure that resembles huge shipping containers—from which the giant reptiles might just have escaped. But this is no Jurassic theme park. Inside, a series of immersive exhibits and thousands of fossils do an effective job of explaining the prehistory of the planet, making full use of the latest in 3D and augmented reality, including the innovative DinoApp. Information panels are in Spanish and English. This impressive museum should appeal equally to children and serious science enthusiasts.
