Amusement Parks are fun for children and for adults. But it’s true that when you are a kid, visiting an amusement park feels like heaven: you get to know your favorite cartoon characters, eat sweets and sugar-filled products all day long and ride roller coasters until you faint of exhaustion and happiness. Water parks are basically the same thing but soaked in water which makes them fun and refreshing at the same time, especially in summer, when the sun burns your skin.

If you are planning to come to Barcelona, particularly in the summer months, and you want to have a great time, here is the list of the best amusement parks and water parks around Barcelona. Don’t forget to bring your sunblock!
