Children in Barcelona in Barcelona

Children in Barcelona

Check listings in daily newspapers for children's activities on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The Fundació Miró is one of Barcelona's most child-friendly venues, with clowns, storytellers, and events of all kinds from 10-2 on weekends. The Barcelona zoo and especially the dolphin show are great favorites with small barcelonins. The Museu de la Ciència offers excellent interactive scientific games and virtual experiences. Drassanes Reials and the Museu Marítimo have superb maritime displays designed for children. Last of all is the amusement park up on Tibidabo, a once-popular children's event that has simply been eclipsed by superior activities.

Babysitting

For babysitters in Barcelona, the hotel desk offers an added guarantee of reliability, although there are also a dozen baby-sitting agencies offering cangurs (kangaroos), carriers with a pouch for the little one.
