is an interactive leisure and educational space. Conceived to present the sea world to children, it has more than 50 interactivities to touch, look at, listen to, investigate and discover nature. In Explora! three Mediterranean coastal ambients are presented: the marshes of the Delta del Ebro, an area of the Costa Brava and an underwater cave in the Islas Medas.

These shallow salt water lagoons are an important habitat for many animal species, above all for migratory birds. Explora! invites you to understand the marshes in many ways, with magnifying glasses, analysing traces in the mud…

The sand beaches are isolated points along the Costa Brava, often protected by large cliffs that tumble spectacularly into the sea. Eroded and sculpted by the wind and the waves, the picturesque Costa Brava houses lagoons made by the tide. The two environments (beaches and lagoons) are found in Explora! and invite visitors to enter this world and begin to explore.

Under the surface of the Mediterranean, the caves and rock protrusions house a reef community with a whole series of organisms that use these places as a refuge. For many visitors, this sea kingdom that is just a few metres from the coast is another world. In Explora! visitors may ‘submerge under the water’ and begin to explore the reef and the remains of a shipwreck.
