Barcelona is completely transformed when Christmas arrives, and if there is a place that condenses that magic, it is the Fabra i Coats Toy Factory. Popularly known as the Factory of the Kings, this visit has become an unmissable event for families in Barcelona, where the little ones can spy the hustle and bustle and the painstaking work of elves and magical workers preparing the gifts that Their Majesties will distribute on Twelfth Night.
As every year, the Factory offers free tickets to visit it, but the success is such that it is essential to book a ticket in advance to gain access. We tell you all the details so you don’t miss your visit to the Three Wise Men.
When are ticket reservations for the Fabra i Coats Toy Factory 2025-26 open?
While this is a completely free activity, getting a ticket requires the same alacrity as an Elf from Melchior’s team. Get ready, because reservations open this Wednesday, December 10 at 10:00 am.
It’s no exaggeration to say that these are among the most sought-after tickets of the holiday season. The track record speaks for itself: in previous editions, tickets have flown out in little more than an hour, and even in 2022 they sold out in less than 60 minutes. It is crucial to keep an eye on the opening time on the official website, as the process to reserve seats online is usually quick and straightforward. Remember that the entrance is one-person, so both adults and children over 2 years old need their own pass.
Visit details and accessibility
The great toy factory, located on the Fabra i Coats site in Sant Andreu, will be open from December 27 to January 4, with the exception of December 31 and January 1. Opening hours will be from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with passes organized every 20 minutes to manage the flow of visitors and make the experience as pleasant as possible.
In addition to general admission tickets, a specific process has been set aside to ensure inclusivity and accessibility. Tickets for people with disabilities (whether children or adults) will be available for booking on Thursday, December 11 at 11:00 am. These special tickets offer adapted measures for oral communication, sign language, audio description, tactile visits, and are also designed for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, to access with this type of pass, it will be necessary to present the corresponding accreditation upon arrival at the Factory.
If you plan to go with your troop of explorers to visit this mythical place, mark December 10 at 10:00 a.m. on your calendar and get ready to feel the excitement of the countdown. The magic of the Three Wise Men awaits you!
