One of my favourite places to take this kids is Parc del Forum in the Diagonal Mar section of the city. It's a part of Barcelona that reminds me a little of downtown Vancouver with lots of tall glass skyscrapers, wide open spaces and interesting modern architecture. September the 24th was a holiday for the kids and the rest of Barcelona for La Mercè, celebration of the patron saint of Barcelona. Most of the museums in Barcelona are free during La Mercè so I decided to take the kids to the Museu Blau (museum of natural science) in Diagonal Mar.
The Museu Blau is pretty interesting, although there is a lot of reading required. I would recommend a visit, even on a day when you have to pay

Parc del Forum is a huge park right on the edge of the beach with lots of cool playgrounds, and it's never very crowded. We have come on various occasions and always find something new. Last april, the kids enjoyed climbing on the wave breakers, hundreds of giant concrete blocks. This time, we also discovered a really different playground next to the Diagonal Mar shopping centre and the kids enjoyed climbing around a play structure that looked kind of like a giant hamster cage.
