Full Description

The Big Fun Museum

The Big Fun Museum is a playful interactive museum spread over three floors, with themed spaces that invite you to explore, climb, hide and take photos. Rooms include an upside-down house, a world of giants, scenes inspired by fairy tales and colourful installations built for playing rather than just looking.

Barcelona Big Fun Museum tickets suit families with children and adults who like to feel like kids again. The route is easy to follow, and each room is a new setting, so you can spend an hour or more here.

The Museum of Illusions

The Museum of Illusions is built around optical tricks, 3D paintings and perspective effects that make you question what you see. Each scene is designed so you can step into the picture, and the exhibits are created to give you eye-catching photos that seem to defy reality.

Museum of Illusions Barcelona tickets are popular because the exhibits are quick to enjoy, easy to understand and fun to share. Rooms often play with size, gravity and mirrors, and staff are on hand to explain the best spots for photos. Rooms often reward a second look, because the effect changes with your angle.

Planning the two visits together

The two museums are around five minutes' walk apart in the heart of the city, so you can go from one to the other easily. Together they usually take a few hours, and they are a good option for a rainy day or a break from walking around the old town.

The combo ticket lets you plan the visits on the same day or, depending on the validity shown in the booking panel, on separate days. Choose your date in the booking panel and check the details before you book.

Tips for making the most of your visit

Bring a charged phone or camera, because photos are allowed inside the museums. The exhibits are designed for photos taken from certain angles, so follow the marks and signs, or ask a member of staff to help you find the best positions.

Wear comfortable shoes and allow enough time for both museums. The museums are accessible for people with reduced mobility. Opening hours change by season and around holidays, so check the details before you go. Going on a weekday or earlier in the day usually means shorter waits at the most popular photo spots.
