Question 1

How do we get to Terrassa from Barcelona, and how long does it take?

Accepted Answer

Take the R5 or R50 train from Plaça de Catalunya or Sants station directly to Terrassa, about 45 minutes to an hour depending on which station you start from. Driving takes roughly 45 minutes via the C-16. During the fair weekend, the FàcilPk car parks on Carrer Sant Leopold and Plaça Lluís Companys charge a flat €5 for the day or €3 for 4 hours.

Question 2

Which ages get the most out of it?

Accepted Answer

It works for all ages, with the most on offer for kids 4 and up. Toddlers enjoy the vintage rides and parades, while older kids get more out of the workshops and games. With mixed ages, you can split up and rotate activities.

Question 3

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

Most of the fair is outdoors, so rain hits the parades and vintage rides hardest. The organizer says the program can change for weather, so check the event website on the day before you set off.

Question 4

How long should we plan to spend there?

Accepted Answer

Plan for a half-day to full-day visit, depending on how many workshops and activities your kids want to do. With 300+ things on offer, you could easily spend 4-6 hours and still not see everything, so pick a few must-dos in advance rather than trying to do it all. If you're coming from Barcelona, factor in travel time both ways.

Question 5

Can we eat at the fair?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Local restaurants serve recipes from the art nouveau era during the fair. If your kids are picky eaters, bring snacks or a picnic and save the restaurant for a treat.

Question 6

What are the puppet shows like?

Accepted Answer

The fair has a dedicated space for puppet stories from the art nouveau era. If your kids have never seen traditional puppet theater, it's an easy first one, with no separate show to book.
