What you need to know

  • Late-night venue, keeps kids engaged past bedtime without rushing home early
  • Hands-on workshops, not passive viewing; kids play a theremin in the air and learn real tricks with Maga Patricia
  • Live music throughout, gives restless kids a reason to move between floors

About

CaixaForum stays open until 11 pm for a night of magic and everyday objects turned strange. Gumbo Jass Band opens with roaming New Orleans jazz at 6.30 pm, then close-up magicians work the floors from 7 to 9 pm. The hands-on part comes in short sessions you can slot around the shows: family magic with Maga Patricia (ages 3 and up, sessions at 7, 8 and 9 pm), Artefacto, Xavier Bobés's workshop on the secret life of everyday objects (ages 4 and up, at 6.30 and 7.45 pm), and a theremin workshop where kids make music in thin air (ages 8 and up, three sessions from 6.45 pm). For sit-down moments there's Tot està escrit, Joan Cassanyes's comic mentalism show (6.30 and 7.45 pm), Los bañistas, two giant tulle bathers acting out a day at the beach at 7.15 pm, and Aluzina, Nacho Diago's theatrical magic show about light, closing the night in the auditorium at 9 pm (ages 6 and up). The exhibitions and a calm space stay open until 11 pm. Entry is €6; the Aluzina show is a separate €6 ticket.
