The Espai Cràter has an exhibition and teaching room that allows visitors to interact. You will find screens with question games to find out what you know about volcanoes in general and those of La Garrotxa in particular, a model with videomapping that explains, in a very visual way, the formation of the region, an interactive proposal that allows you to record the seismic movement of each person, there will be family workshops with different levels of education, etc.

Meanwhile, outsidethe museum, it has been used to build a new park that symbolizes a hill, a typical landscape of La Garrotxa. It has an area of 3,500 m2 and trees of native species such as walnuts, oaks and beeches have been planted.
