Two-thirds of the site of Expo '92 in Seville have been converted into high-tech research and development centers. But the rest of Cartuja Island has a more frivolous role, having reopened as the Cartuja Discovery Park, a privately owned amusement center, on a two-year lease.

Many of the popular theme pavilions, like Navigation, the Universe, and the Spain pavilion, have reopened, this time with shorter lines. And there are plenty of new attractions along the familiar Expo skyline, as well as concerts, circuses, and outdoor movies. A Birds of Prey demonstration in the Guadalquivir Gardens features birds from Government recovery centers that rehabilitate wounded or orphaned hawks, eagles and other raptors for their eventual return to the wild. The Ina Feria corner is designed to evoke Seville's famed April Fair, complete with flamenco dancers, singers, and casetas, or makeshift tent taverns. The Cartuja Discovery Park is open daily, except Mondays. Admission is about $14.75 for ages 15 to 65. Children age 5 to 15, and those over 65 pay about $11. Some exhibits cost extra. After Oct. 17, the park will be open on weekends only on a winter schedule.
