Tibidabo Amusement Park opens to the public again on Saturday, 1 March, with a Carnival parade, hot chocolate for everybody and a fancy dress competition open to all visitors
With the theme “Peak thrills”, the new season at Tibidabo continues to offer magical experiences for all the family
Tibidabo Amusement Park is launching a new season on Saturday, 1 March, by celebrating the Tibicarnaval. A xaranga marching band will be welcoming visitors in the Panoramic Area and the area around the ticket booths from 10.30 am. When the park opens at 11 am, a Carnival parade will set off and make its way from the entrance to Plaça dels Somnis, where there will be hot chocolate for everybody. Participants in the parade will include the Tibidabo mascots.
All those who turn up in fancy dress will have the chance to take part in a draw for four tickets to enjoy Tibidabo.
Dubbed “Tibicarnestoltes”, playing on one of the Catalan words for “carnival”, the celebration will last all whole weekend long with a fancy dress competition. The competition is open to all visitors and will be held in Plaça del Jardí on Saturday and Sunday at 5 pm, during the show by the Tibidabo mascots. At that time, visitors will be able to take to the catwalk and participate in a Carnival parade. A panel made up of park staff and the park’s mascots will then award prizes for the most original outfits.
Tibidabo, peak thrills
With the theme of “Peak thrills”, the park is getting a new season under way with the aim of continuing to offer magical experiences for all the family. Its 30+ rides and attractions, range of shows and unbeatable views of Barcelona continue to make the park a unique family fun site in the city.
As ever, education and good causes will play an important part in the day-to-day activity of the park. During the course of the year, the programme at the park includes outreach activities on science, technology, the environment and robotics, aimed at schools and adapted for all age groups. These are the Science, Technology and Environment Educational Activities, the Robotics Educational Activities and Fisidabo.
Over 20 events to support good causes are also planned at the park, such as Connecta’t a l’Autisme (Aprenem Autisme), Un Cop de Mà (Fundació Migranoderarena) and Posa’t la Gorra (AFANOC); in addition to Tibidabo’s partnership with Unicef Catalunya.
Earlier opening times for the Rio Grande, Llaunes and Tchu-Tchu rides
Tibidabo will be opening every weekend and on public holidays in March, April, May and June, as well as during the Easter holidays. As from 24 June, and throughout the summer, the park will be open from Wednesdays to Sundays. Once the school year gets under way, the park will be opening again at weekends and on public holidays, as well as during the Christmas holidays.
The opening hours will continue to be from 11 am to 7 pm or 10 pm, depending on the time of year. This season, the Rio Grande, Llaunes and Tchu-Tchu rides for the littlest ones will open earlier, at 11 am.
