The Barcelona area has a lot to offer. If you have a few days off and you want to dedicate them to the little ones of the house, the possibilities in terms of excursions with children are quite numerous. Plans with children, moreover, do not have to be at odds with the enjoyment of adults, so in this article we propose some getaways that will mean each and every family member can enjoy a day together.
Adventure parks
In the vicinity of Barcelona there is a wide range of adventure parks. Among them you will find Natupark, Bosc Animat de Catalunya en Miniatura and Les Deus Aventura. The activities on offer are typical of this type of park, such as climbing and crossing ropes, zip-lining or crossing suspension bridges.
As a general rule, they usually offer different difficulties for different ages, making it an ideal trip for excursions with children and the whole family in general.
Finally, the natural environment allows you to organize picnics and outdoor meals, so you can spend the whole day in one of these parks.
Excursions with children to La Mola
If you want to combine your excursion with children with an initiation to trekking, this is probably your best option. This mountain is the highest in the natural park of Sant Lloreç del Munt i I'Obac. However, the route to the top is only 3 kilometers long and does not pose much difficulty for children. When you reach the summit, you will enjoy breathtaking views of the area, as well as being able to visit the museum-restaurant of the Romanesque monastery of Sant Llorenç de Munt.
In addition, in the area you can also visit the Gorgs del Tenes, known by the locals as one of the best natural pools in Catalonia, while you head to the monastery of Sant Miquel del Fai, another highly recommended spot. This monastery has the peculiarity of having been built inside the rock, which gives it a truly magical look.
Port Aventura Amusement Park
Now this is cheating a little. It may not be one of the closest places to Barcelona, being approximately one hour and twenty minutes by car from the city, but we are talking about one of the best amusement parks in the whole peninsula. It is, undoubtedly, one of the best excursions with children that will please both children and adults, with attractions for all tastes and ages. In addition, the theme park itself offers ticket packages that are sold together with transport from Barcelona.
This is a plan to spend the day with the family riding different attractions and enjoying the shows organized by the park. In addition, a new complex called Ferrari Land has been opened next to the park, with the possibility of visiting it together with Port Aventura itself.
Excursion to the Bosc Pintat de Poblet with children
This is one of the excursions with children in a natural environment with a curious activity. Although, first of all, it must be said that the walk is simple and does not have large slopes so it is suitable for the whole family including its youngest members. The peculiarity of this site consists of having to look for mushrooms painted on the trees. These paintings are the work of Genís Colell, and children will love them. In fact, a great plan is to organize activities around them. For example, you can divide into groups and see who is able to snap the most pictures of them in the shortest time.
Likewise, the purpose of this site is not only to entertain, but also to inform the visitor. This is due to the fact that next to the drawing of each mushroom on the trees there is a sign explaining the characteristics of the mushroom. Undoubtedly one of the most original excursions with children.
La Fageda d'en Jordà with children
Another interesting plan to head out on an excursion with children and spend the day surrounded by nature is the Fageda d'en Jordà. This place is a nature reserve known for its beech forest growing on the outflow of the ancient Croscat volcano.
