How loud is it, and will my kid get scared?

It's a full circus production with live music, so it gets loud, and some scenes are dark with flashing lights. A child who startles at sudden noises or gets anxious in the dark may find it hard. Kids around 6 and up usually handle it fine.

Do babies and toddlers need a ticket?

Children under 2 go in free as long as they stay on a parent's lap for the show. Everyone aged 2 and up needs their own ticket.

What does a family outing cost once you add everything up?

Tickets start at €45 with service fees and taxes included, and climb by seat category and date, so a family of four in the cheapest seats starts at around €180. The official site also lists a family or friends pack on its Barcelona offers page, so check it before you book.
