BIG FUN MUSEUM, near the Rambla and Plaça de Catalunya, is an interactive museum of oversized and playful installations made for photos and fun, aimed at families and groups of friends.

Mistakes to avoid
- Buying at the door: online is cheaper.
- Going on a rainy weekend afternoon, when it's busiest.
- Forgetting a charged phone: photos are the point.
Best time to visit
Weekday mornings are quietest. Rainy days, weekend afternoons and school holidays are busiest, and photo spots can have queues. It's open late on Fridays and Saturdays, which works well for groups of friends. Combine it with the nearby Museum of Illusions on a combo ticket, or the Rambla, the Boqueria market and the Gothic Quarter.
