1. Social support activities

To these objectives, above described, the Tibidabo Amusement Park is channelling its efforts to develop projects, being aware of social initiatives, support and carry on events, and supports low income collectives and respects the environment in which it is located.

Accordingly, the park has a social function based on 4 main points:

• 2.1. Fares
• 2.2. Events
• 2.3. Special activities and collaborations
• 2.4. Environment and Location

2.1. Fares

The Tibidabo Amusement Park gives discounts for a range of low income collectives and nonprofit organizations:

• Special centres and/or social support centres: Economy entrance fees with an 80% discount on the regular price for children who live in children’s care centres, children with family problems, social cohesion centres, with no profitable objectives, and social education children (entrance fee: €5.60 – free admission for teachers).
