About

Bukiboom is a kids' activity space inside Galeries Maldà on Carrer Portaferrissa, right in the heart of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. The Galeries Maldà is one of Barcelona's oldest shopping arcades, and finding a modern kids' play space inside it is genuinely fun — the contrast works.

For families staying near Las Ramblas or the Barri Gòtic, Bukiboom is one of the best rainy-day options within walking distance of the main tourist areas. Activities include creative play, educational games, and themed spaces designed for kids roughly 2–10 years old.

The space is compact, which means it can feel crowded on weekend afternoons. Weekday mornings are noticeably quieter and give kids more room to explore. Parents can sit and watch or participate depending on their energy levels.

Galeries Maldà itself is worth a quick look — it's a quirky little arcade with independent shops that doesn't get much tourist traffic despite being steps from Las Ramblas.
