Quick answer
- There are two park tickets. The full Entrance is €39. The Panoramic ticket, which covers only the historic “emblematic” rides plus the views, is €21.50.
- Children are priced by height, not age. Under 90 cm is free. Between 90 and 120 cm is €15.50 full park, €11.80 Panoramic. Over 120 cm pays the adult price.
- Over-60s pay €11.70 for the full park — one of the biggest senior discounts in the city, and worth knowing if grandparents are coming.
- Getting up the mountain is not included. The funicular (the Cuca de Llum) is €13.50 adult, €6.75 for ages 4–12.
- Single-parent and large-family certificates cut about 20% off every ticket type.
The two tickets, and which one you want
| Ticket | Over 120 cm | 90–120 cm | Over 60 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entrance (whole park) | €39.00 | €15.50 | €11.70 |
| Panoramic (emblematic rides + views) | €21.50 | €11.80 | €9.10 |
| Single ride, one use | €4.00 | €4.00 | €4.00 |
| Under 90 cm | Free | Free | — |
Prices correct September 2026 — check before booking.
The Panoramic ticket is the one most visitors don’t know exists. It gets you into the top part of the park — the old rides, the aeroplane, the carousel, the views — without paying for the full set of modern attractions below.
The trap to avoid: if one child is just over 120 cm, they pay full adult price — €39. Measure before you book.
Where to stay in Barcelona — our three picks
Generator Barcelona – private family rooms at hostel prices, five minutes from Passeig de Gràcia and metro Diagonal (L3/L5). Rooms are small and the bar downstairs is lively, so ask for a higher floor.
H10 Cubik – on the edge of the Gothic Quarter, with the Atic rooftop terrace and pool. You can walk to the cathedral, the beach and the Born from the door, which saves you metro tickets all week.
The Cotton House Hotel, Autograph Collection – the old cotton guild building on Gran Via, a ten-minute walk from Casa Batlló and the Sagrada Família side of Eixample. Quiet, grown-up, and the rooftop is the reason to book it.

The bit that isn’t in the ticket price: getting there
The park is on top of Collserola and the journey is part of the day, but it costs extra and the ticket doesn’t include it.
- Funicular (Cuca de Llum) — €13.50 adult, €6.75 ages 4–12, €3.95 for over-60s and disabled visitors
- Torre de Collserola, the communications tower with the observation deck — €7.00, also separate
So a family of four with two children over 120 cm is looking at €39 × 2 + €39 × 2 for the park, plus funicular on top.
The church, which is free
The Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor at the summit is a separate building from the funfair and you don’t need a park ticket to walk up to it.

Tibidabo with kids: FAQ
How much does Tibidabo cost?
€39 for the full Entrance ticket for anyone over 120 cm, €15.50 for children between 90 and 120 cm, and free for children under 90 cm. The cheaper Panoramic ticket, covering the historic rides and the viewpoints, is €21.50 and €11.80. Over-60s pay €11.70 for the full park. The funicular up the mountain is charged separately at €13.50.
What is the difference between the Tibidabo Entrance and Panoramic tickets?
The Entrance ticket covers the whole park. The Panoramic ticket covers only the upper area — the historic “emblematic” rides such as the aeroplane and the carousel, plus the viewpoints — for roughly half the price.
Are children free at Tibidabo?
Children under 90 cm tall enter free. Tibidabo prices children by height rather than age, so a tall seven-year-old measuring over 120 cm pays the full adult price of €39. Measure before you book.
Is the funicular included in the Tibidabo ticket?
No. The Cuca de Llum funicular is a separate ticket at €13.50 for adults and €6.75 for children aged 4 to 12, and it is one of the most common surprises in the cost of a Tibidabo day.
