Family plans: What do we do in Barcelona with children?
When we travel with children we look for those activities that allow us to enjoy the whole family without missing out on new things. What do we do in Barcelona with children? Barcelona is a fantastic city for the little ones, full of sunny parks all year round and spaces designed for them. Who said that you can’t go sightseeing with the little ones in the house?
Barcelona for adventurous children
Barcelona has the quintessential family amusement park, Tibidabo. Spectacular viewpoint over the city, with emblematic attractions such as the Atalaya, unique in the world, this historical park has evolved over time but has never lost its essence. They call it the “magic mountain” for a reason.
From the mountain to the sea, because in the Parc del Fòrum, the Bosc Urbà awaits us with zip lines, nets, vines, trunks and bridges spread over different circuits at 6 meters high for the most daring.
Barcelona for sailors and apprentice pirates
What better way to take advantage of the sea than sailing? One option is the Eco Slim, the largest ecological catamaran in Europe, adapted to navigate both in summer and winter along the waters of the Barcelona coast. We also have the mythical Swallows, which have been touring these waters since 1888. We can complete our seafaring day at the Museu Marítim, which offers numerous family and children’s activities.
Barcelona for future researchers
Little scientists are going to love the Cosmocaixa: dinosaurs, workshops, activities aimed at them where they can participate in experiments and permanent exhibitions such as the wonderful “The Flooded Forest”, in which they can walk through 1000 m2 of Amazon jungle during the rains. The Museu Blau, the museum dedicated to natural sciences in the Forum, completes the package.
Barcelona for children with a sweet tooth
Promoted by the Guild of Pastry Chefs of Barcelona, the Museu de la Xocolata is a playful and educational space that aims to show us the history of chocolate through activities and workshops for all ages, from chocolate lollipops to children’s pastries. And if not, how about a typical Barcelona snack? In the traditional chocolate shops of C/Petritxol, such as Dulcinea, they will offer us the traditional Swiss with gingerbreads or churros. A classic from Barcelona.
Barcelona for young athletes
For football lovers there is an essential museum in the city, the Futbol Club Barcelona museum. The Camp Nou Experience includes a panoramic view of the legendary stadium, a visit to the press rooms, the visiting team’s dressing room, the players’ tunnel and the benches, as well as the Museum and the multimedia room.
And how about something more active? Like ice skating at the Skating Club.
The funniest urban gardens
Not all parks are the same. The Parc de l’Oreneta forest (in Sarrià, near the Hotel Bonanova Suites) has a children’s play area with a picnic area, a hidden pond, a restaurant… and the best thing, on Sundays you can travel on a miniature train passing among the vegetation, over bridges and through tunnels.
The Joan Brossa Gardens, on Montjuïc, have three play areas with elements for all ages, such as musical cushions that make sounds when stepped on and an area with zip lines and climbing games. Nearby is the Botanical Garden, which organizes games, workshops and many entertaining activities to instill respect for nature.
Of course, we cannot forget the quintessential park of the city of Barcelona, Parc Güell, with its incredible Gaudinian architecture.
And for little artists, Plom Gallery, an art gallery aimed exclusively at children.
