Things to Do in Barcelona with Kids – The Best Family Plans

Barcelona is one of those cities that captures your heart from the very first moment: sunshine, sea, culture, gastronomy, and a relaxed Mediterranean vibe. But beyond being an ideal destination for couples or friends, it’s also the perfect city to visit with children. The Catalan capital is full of activities to enjoy as a family — parks, museums, attractions, and much more.

Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a longer holiday, here you’ll discover what to do in Barcelona with kidsand how to experience the city with the youngest members of your family.

Tibidabo Amusement Park

Tibidabo Amusement Park – Fun with the Best Views

Imagine laughing, shouting with excitement, and taking in the entire city from above. That’s what you can expect at Tibidabo Amusement Park, one of the oldest theme parks in Europe, located on the mountain of the same name.

Here, you’ll find attractions for all ages: the iconic Ferris wheel with panoramic views, roller coasters, water rides, carousels, and play zones. Even the youngest visitors can enjoy it safely. And for adults, the views from the terraces are simply spectacular.

Feelathome tip: take the Tramvia Blau or the Tibidabo funicular. The journey itself is already part of the experience! official website.

CosmoCaixa Museum

On rainy or very hot days, a visit to CosmoCaixa is always a great idea. This interactive science museum perfectly combines learning and fun for the whole family.

Children can conduct experiments, touch animals in the “Toca toca” area, explore a real “flooded forest,” or travel through the universe in its impressive planetarium.

The exhibitions are designed for all ages, so both young children and teenagers will have a great time. Parents will love watching their children learn with curiosity and enthusiasm.

Admission: €6 – open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Parks and natural spaces

Among modernist buildings and lively streets, Barcelona also offers many natural spaces to enjoy the outdoors with kids.

• Montjuïc: the city’s most famous hill, with gardens, museums, and stunning panoramic views. Taking the cable car to the top is an adventure the whole family will love.
• Castell de l’Oreneta Park: a lesser-known spot where children can ride on a miniature train.
• Pegaso Park: perfect for picnics or playing in the shade.
• Horta Labyrinth Park: a beautiful cypress maze where both kids and adults can get lost among the greenery.

These parks are ideal for relaxing, breathing fresh air, and enjoying a peaceful family day away from the city’s bustle.

Aquarium and Zoo

 Barcelona's Aquari Zoo

If your kids love animals, Barcelona is the perfect place. Without leaving the city, they can see sharks, penguins, giraffes, and lions.

• L’Aquàrium de Barcelona, located in Port Vell, is one of the largest aquariums in Europe. It has 35 tanks, over 11,000 specimens of 450 different species, and an 80-meter underwater tunnel that makes you feel like part of the ocean.
• Barcelona Zoo, in the Ciutadella Park, is home to more than 7,000 animals from 400 species. It also features play areas, picnic spots, and educational activities throughout the year.

Both places are perfect for learning and having fun: kids can connect with the animal world and discover the importance of respecting nature and protecting species.

Big Fun Museum

Big Fun Museum – Guaranteed Laughter

If you’re looking for an original and fun plan, the Big Fun Museum, located in the heart of Barcelona (on Las Ramblas), is a must-visit.

Here, nothing is what it seems: there are ball pits, mirror mazes, optical illusions, giant rooms, and interactive exhibitions. Kids will have a blast, and parents will go home with amazing photos.

It’s the perfect plan for hot summer days or when the weather calls for indoor fun. Entertainment is guaranteed for the entire family.
