Museums
for Families
If you are traveling with your family in Barcelona and want to visit a museum, these might be for you. The museums listed here offer many hands-on opportunities or are thematically good if your children are particularly interested in archaeology, shipping, or football.
Cosmo Caixa
At the Cosmo Caixa you can carry out scientific experiments with your children. Science to try and discover for yourself!
The indoor tropical forest, in which it rains from time to time, forms the center of the museum. But you can also create a sandstorm! Or do you mind sticking your fingers into a block of ice until a hollow forms?
CHOCOLATE MUSEUM
Asterix & Oberlix as chocolate figures! Gaudí's dragon too? Here you can see what you can do with chocolate & all about the process!

Tip 2
Museum of Illusions
Both Jacqueline and I went there with our children. And everyone (4 + 4 and 11) loved it! At first, they didn't know what it's all about – but it's fun to animate and place them. And when mine saw the result on their cell phone, they were thrilled! This Museum can also be bought in combination with the Big Fun Museum!
