Where are they?
This last one is perfect for the youngest ones, as there are smaller slides that kids under 4-5 will love.
Our recommendation: bring a cardboard or a towel to slide on, to avoid irritations. They’ll have a blast there!
Endless gardens:
Our recommendation: have a picnic, observe the nature and lie on the grass. Such a great plan with kids!
THEATER FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY:
Plays with plots for children, adapted fairy tales, puppets… All that and much more! Barcelona has all the theater you may imagine for the little ones of the family.

GOING FOR A SNACK (AFTERNOON SNACK):
The afternoon snack is a must for the little ones. If you want them to really enjoy while being fed, we do recommend two indispensable places:
La Nena, Gràcia district:

It’s a typical café, a perfect place to have something to eat or drink with kids, meet some friends and have the little ones entertained. At the bottom, they have a large space with colorful tables and chairs and some shelves with toys they can play with. In the afternoon, it is usually full of families who go there after school to have a snack. What to have? Chocolate is the king, but… Watch out those with intolerances! You’ll find all kinds of vegetal milk and much more.
- Where? 36, Ramón y Cajal Street, Barcelona.
- More information: La Nena.
Zuckerhaus, Sant Antoni district:

This small and cozy cake shop looks as if had been taken out of a fairy tale. It is full with cakes baked by Manuela Carusso with plenty of love. Daughter of a German mother and an Italian father, she has transferred her origins to the cake shop, where we can find recipes from both countries. All in lively colors and natural. Want to taste it?
- Where? 17, Parlament, Street Eixample Esquerre, Barcelona.

FOR BIG LITTLE GENIUSES: COSMOCAIXA!
In case you did not know, Cosmocaixa is the result of refitting the Science Museum of Barcelona. It opened in 2004 and is located in an old nursing home for blind people, built by Josep Domènech and Estapà. The museum is divided onto different areas: the Geologic Wall, the Flooded Woods, the Matter Room, the Planetarium, the Science Square, Click and Flash, the Bubble Planetarium and Touch-touch! Ideal for an approach of the little ones to the world of science!
