Top 5 Things to Do with Kids in Barcelona (and Why #1 is a Street Art Workshop)
Barcelona is one big playground of color, creativity, and discovery — perfect for curious young minds. If you’re traveling with kids, there are plenty of ways to keep them inspired and entertained. Here are the top 5 things to do with kids in Barcelona (and why #1 is a Street Art Workshop) that combine fun, culture, and imagination.
1. Street Art Workshop 🎨
Our number one pick! The Artspace Street Art Workshop is led by local street artists who show kids the world of graffiti and mural-making. They’ll learn about the tools and techniques of the trade, explore how street art tells stories, and then create their very own masterpiece. It’s hands-on, interactive, and the kind of activity they’ll remember long after the paint dries.
Note: Not recommended for kids under the age of 8 years old.
2. Explore the Museu Blau 🦖
Barcelona’s Natural Science Museum, known as Museu Blau, is a hit with kids who love dinosaurs, fossils, and the wonders of nature. The exhibits are engaging and interactive, and the building itself — a striking blue triangle — is worth the visit. It’s a fun way for kids to learn while exploring the natural world.
3. Step Inside Gaudí’s Magical Architecture
Antoni Gaudí’s creations are like something from a dream. A visit to Casa Batlló or La Pedrera lets kids wander through surreal spaces that feel straight out of a fairy tale — twisting chimneys, colorful mosaics, and playful shapes.
4. Play and Explore at Park Güell
This UNESCO World Heritage site is part park, part fantasyland. Children can climb, run, and play while surrounded by Gaudí’s mosaics and quirky sculptures. It’s the perfect mix of art, nature, and free space to roam.
5. Visit the Chocolate Museum 🍫
Sweeten your day with a trip to the Museu de la Xocolata. Kids will learn about the history of chocolate, see sculptures made entirely of cocoa, and — best of all — enjoy some tasting along the way.
The Street Art Workshop takes the top spot because it transforms kids from spectators into creators. Instead of just seeing art, they’ll make it themselves — and leave Barcelona with both memories and their own artistic achievement.
