3 Amazing Vacations Spots for Science Lovers

Do you love science and want to explore it in your vacation? Check out these amazing vacation spots every science nerd needs to see.

Research shows that 52% of American employees have unused vacation time.

If you love science, you might want to use this vacation time by visiting somewhere that aligns with your passion. But if you don't know much about travel, you probably have no idea what's out there for science fans.

This post will help you tackle this problem by highlighting three amazing vacation spots for science lovers. Visit these destinations, and there's no doubt you'll have a great time.

Let's begin!

1. Atacama Desert

The Atacama Desert is 600 mile stretch of dessert that's in the northern part of Chile.

Now, upon hearing that, you might not see the appeal.

But, one of the great things about this location is that it's very remote. This means that it doesn't get a lot of light pollution, and that makes it a spectacular spot for anyone that wants to do some stargazing.

Light pollution is so low, in fact, that on some nights you can even see the 'Milky Way.'

You'll want to monitor the weather before you visit because if it's cloudy, you'll struggle to see the stars. You might also want to hire a tour guide so that they can take you to the area that provides the most visibility.

2. Galileo Museum

This museum is dedicated to the well-known scientist Galileo, and it can be found in Florence, Italy.

This museum is popular amongst science lovers because it gives you the chance to see how science has progressed over the years.

For instance, you get to see how certain scientific tools, such as telescopes have developed over time. You'll also get to see some of Galileos original documents, which is great if you're a history nerd, as well as a science nerd!

It's worth noting that the museum holds special events now and then. If you plan ahead, you might be able to schedule your trip so that it coincides with one of these events.

3. Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos Islands is a special place for scientists, as it's one of the regions that helped Darwin develop the theory of evolution.

The region is home to a stunning range of wildlife, and some of the animals that live there can't be found anywhere else.

That said, the region is expansive, and so finding the best spots for wildlife can be challenging.

Because of this, you should hire a company that offers Galapagos Islands Cruises. Such companies will know which spots are worth visiting, thereby allowing you to get the most out of your trip.

Will You Visit These Amazing Vacation Spots?

These amazing vacation spots are perfect for anyone that's a fan of science.

If you can't afford to take an 'international' vacation, that's fine.

More often than not, you'll find that your state, or a nearby one, will have a popular tourist spot dedicated to science.

The most important thing is that you find a destination, and you commit to going there. Fail to do this, and you may never actually get around to using up your vacation time.
