You’ll jump into wild ball pits, wander neon-lit tunnels, and play with interactive art installations at IKONO Barcelona. Every room invites laughter or surprise—sometimes both at once. With friendly staff guiding you through ten unique spaces and full accessibility for all ages, it’s an hour that’ll stick in your memory long after your socks come off.
Someone handed me a pair of neon socks at the entrance — not what I expected, but it set the tone right away. The place is tucked inside Arena Shopping Center, but honestly, once you step through those doors, Barcelona’s noise just fades out. Our guide (I think her name was Carla?) grinned as she waved us toward the first room. She didn’t say much at first, just let us wander into this sea of colored balls that felt like something between a playground and a sci-fi movie set. I lost my shoe almost immediately — Carla just laughed and said it happens to everyone.
The main keyword here is “immersive experience,” and yeah, they mean it. Each room at IKONO Barcelona has its own vibe — one minute you’re in a tunnel with shifting lights that make your skin look blue, then suddenly you’re on “Cyber Punk Street” where everything glows and there’s this faint electric hum under the music. My friend tried to take a selfie but got distracted by these weird, soft walls that kind of swallow sound. It’s hard to explain until you’re there. Some families were chasing each other around; a couple of teenagers were doing TikToks in front of the graffiti wall. I mostly just touched everything — some surfaces cold, some rubbery — because why not?
I didn’t expect to feel so loose or silly here. There’s no pressure to act cool or artsy; nobody judges if you mess around with the props or flop into the ball pit twice (guilty). At one point I caught this older couple giggling together as they tried to balance on these glowing cubes — made me smile for real. The staff kept popping up just when we looked confused, always ready with a joke or a tip about which room had the best light for photos. And yeah, it’s fully accessible — saw someone navigating easily with a stroller.
We only spent about an hour inside but it felt longer somehow — maybe because time gets weird when you’re not looking at your phone every five minutes. Walking out, I still had static in my hair from one of those rooms (no regrets). If you want something playful right in central Barcelona that doesn’t care how old you are or how artsy you feel… well, this is it.
