Prayer Facilities

There are no known prayer facilities at the Parque de las Ciencias, but the city of Granada is known to be home to a couple of mosques, such as the Mosque of Granada. Muslims visiting the museum can also find a quiet place in the garden, outside the museum, to offer their prayers.

Halal Food

There is a cafeteria at the Parque de las Ciencias where visitors will be able to relax and grab a bite to eat. The food served here will probably not be Halal. Muslims visiting the museum could therefore order something vegetarian or seafood, or they could dine at one of the several Halal restaurants in the city of Granada.
