Tibidabo Amusement Park

• Free under 90 cm, with a cheaper ticket for kids 90–120 cm, so a young family pays far less than the headline price
• A TibiClub annual pass pays off fast — €68/year for one person (under two day-tickets' worth) or €190 for a family of two adults plus all kids under 18, so locals who come a few times a year skip the €39 day price
• Cooler than the city at 500 m up, and the Cuca de Llum funicular ride to the summit is included in every ticket

Open since 1901, this mountaintop park stacks more than 30 rides up the side of Collserola. The signature Avió has swung kids out over the rooftops since 1928, and there is a hand-painted carousel, the Muntanya Russa rollercoaster, the Miramiralls hall of mirrors, and a small Automaton Museum. A separate Panoramic Area holds gentler rides for the youngest, and the Cuca de Llum funicular carries you up to the top.
