When you hear Barcelona, you think this is not suitable for smaller children. I can tell you it is. In the city you will find many activities for children. There is no change they will be bored. A suggestion I would make is the aquarium. Your children will be fascinated by the things they see.

L´aquarium is located in Port Vell, this is the oldest part of the port of Barcelona. This area is converted to a amusement area. Beside the aquarium you will find a shopping mall, a cinema and restaurant. L’Aquàrium de Barcelona is the most important marine leisure and education centre in the world concerning the Mediterranean. The aquarium opened its doors for the first in 1995. It has 35 tanks, 11.000 animals from 450 different species, a underwater tunnel of 80 meters and includes 6 million liters of water. For children the most impressive things to see will be the sharks. The aquarium is already visited by more than 14 million people.

To feed al the fish they need 2 tons of food per week. To counterfeit the nature, a computer settles the lights. Outside and at the end of the route there is also a small playarea where children can let go for a while.

Besides the fact that the aquarium is a lot of fun for children, it is also very informative. At every tank you will find a description about what you see. The type of fish, where they live and things like that.

For the parent there is also a spectacular activity. When they are real daredevils it is possible to swim with the sharks. This is not possible for all days and you should make a reservation in advance.
