Barcelona Family’s tours

Barcelona Zoo in Ciutadella Park

Unfortunately, Copito de Nieve (SnowFlake) is dead. He was the maximum star of the Barcelona Zoo and some years ago, died because of a cancer. However, thr Barcelona Zoo is situated in a beautiful park, the Ciutadella Park, buit for the 1898 Universal Exposition and it is real fun to visit for the kids.

Highlight of a visit is normally the dolphin show so time/pace yourselves for that (included in admission). Show times are posted at the entrance (normally 3 a day). Very good adventure playground; also petting zoo, and donkey rides (extra charge).

The Aquarium in Port Vell (near Maremagnum Centre).

Pricey but very good (all under cover so perfect on a rainy day).  Open until after 9pm. Concentrates on Mediterranean species, though not exclusively. Also ray-pool, and penguins (with real ice).

Funfair on Tibidabo.

A bit of a trek to get to, but well worth it.   Set off early and spend the whole day working your way down the side of the mountain towards the exit.  Pay on gate, then ride all day if you want, as the entrance fee (although pricey) is all you pay (except for food/drinks etc).  Dare you to go in the Kruger House (not recommended for those of a nervous disposition/small children)!
