The new attraction, which opens on 5 July for the general public and this weekend for TibiClub members, allows you to plunge into an immersive journey through new digital worlds.

Tibidabo is kicking off the summer by extending visiting hours and introducing new activities, including a new Geronimo Stilton show, featuring different artists from the 'Eufòria' TV programme. 

The amusement park will also host the 10th edition of the "Vozes" association solidarity concert

 

Tibidabo opens a new virtual portal into the beyond. The amusement park starts the summer with the launch of 'Beyond', a new immersive virtual reality experience that will bring the mystery and adventure of different digital worlds to the historical Sky Building.

During the 10-minute long experience, visitors must wear virtual reality goggles and use two remote controls. While walking through the interior of the Sky Building, they will watch an immersive clip that will allow them to experience an enthralling story first-hand. In collaboration with the German company VR Coaster, Tibidabo has developed a variety of animations and content that will be played randomly throughout the season to guarantee new experiences. 

'Beyond' will be open to the general public on Thursday 5 July, although TibiClub members will have exclusive access to it this weekend. The attraction is included in the general amusement park admission. However, in order to enter you will need to book your pass in person outside the attraction and pay a €3 fee, which will be returned to you or can be exchanged for a restaurant voucher.

The attraction represents a firm commitment by the park to combine its contribution to preserving the city's historical heritage –including attractions such as the aeroplane, the watchtower and the automotons– with a vision for the future that incorporates cutting-edge technology to create unforgettable moments of fun and discovery.

‘Beyond’ is the third attraction in the park to use immersive technologies. The Virtual Express was inaugurated in 2017, while this April VR came to the Roller Coaster, a clear demonstration of Tibidabo's commitment to creating innovative experiences based on applying new audiovisual technologies. 

Music, light and magic: the summer hits are back

During the coming months, Tibidabo will be bringing back two of its most successful summer shows. In July, younger children can once again sing and dance along with our most famous mouse, Gerónimo Stilton. As a new feature, this year he will be accompanied by some of the singers who took part in the 'Eufòria’ TV competition, namely, Pedro Da Costa on 1,2, 8 and 9 July; Chung Man, on 15 and 16 July; and Estela, on 22, 23, 29 and 30 July. The show can be seen on theses July weekends from 8.30 pm onwards. 

In August, visitors will be able to enjoy the night-time Laser Show, which will fill the Plaça dels Somnis with light and colour from 9.30 pm onwards. This month the mascots will also be featured in a new show. It will take place every evening, at 7.00 pm. in Plaça del Jardí. 

Throughout the summer there will also be puppet shows at the Marionetarium every hour from 1 pm onwards, with popular characters such as Karam, Bròquil, Samfaina and Pruna. The films 'Meg and the Lost Scepter' in 4D and 'Wanted Alive' in 3D will continue to be shown at the Dididado cinema, with screenings every 20 minutes.

The Park maintains its solidarity commitment by showcasing non-profit organisations and associations that work with different groups. For example, every summer a solidarity concert is held by "Vozes", a musical association that works for social cohesion and offers free, quality musical training to vulnerable young people. This year will see the tenth such concert, which will take place on Thursday, 28 July.

Longer opening hours to guarantee maximum fun

With the arrival of summer, Tibidabo is extending its opening hours. On July weekends, the park will close one hour later, at 10 pm. In August, these extended opening hours will apply from Sunday to Sunday, guaranteeing 11 hours of fun, rides and shows a day.
