Pretty simple location, but example to communicate science and how an experiment helps you understand, visually, abstract theories. Simplicity is on the stage, together with people wandering around. A good 10 min stopover.
Beautiful place next to the river, the fish market (feria fluvial), boat trips to the swans natural sanctuary and many other things to see and do.
If you come to visit Valdivia, definitely, you have to see this place... at the same time, you will see the river

The Pendulo de Foucault in Valdivia is a simple yet beautiful location next to the river, offering visitors a unique way to understand abstract theories through visual experiments. It serves as a social center with a long history and provides an original concept of physics on a boardwalk instead of in a traditional museum. While some mention it being in bad shape, others find it lovely and believe people should appreciate it more.Review score

I found it original as you find a concept in physics on a boardwalk in stead of in a proper museum
Big pendulo it's a little dangerous at night but too is a social center. Long history
