Barcelona is a city so gorgeous and lively that you’ll never run out of things to look at or do here. But plan your family trip with our list of kid-tested top 25 things to do in Barcelona and even the fussiest kid will be charmed by the Catalan capital.

I've visited the city several times with my two kids under age 8 and found the people welcoming, the public transportation reliable, and an abundance of cafes open around the clock for hungry little travelers. From giant slides to aquariums to Gaudi—and with a good dose of ice cream thrown in, these Barcelona attractions are sure to keep everyone engaged. Plan ahead for some of these activities with online tickets but leave room in the daily sightseeing schedule for a few spontaneous adventures, too, including picnicking in local gardens. Read on for the top things to do in Barcelona when traveling with kids.

Yoga Classes and Studios for New Jersey Kids

Powerflow Yoga Kids offers classes for all ages, from babies to teens.

The daily dash from school to soccer practice to dance lessons leaves little time for kids to find some calm on busy days. But there’s an easy way to slow down and refocus—add yoga to your kid’s routine. Whether you want your toddler, tot, tween, or teen to find balance, physical activity, mindfulness, or a combination of all three, there’s a local NJ yoga studio that can help.

There’s no arguing with 2,000-plus years’ worth of evidence: The benefits of yoga are many. Research shows that kids who practice yoga boost their concentration and self-esteem, increase their flexibility, strength and coordination, and develop a foundation for dealing with stress in healthy ways.

If you’re ready to give yoga a try with your kids, scroll down for a list of our favorite studios with yoga classes for kids. For more kids classes, check out our Guide to Classes and Enrichment Programs for NJ Kids
