The Magic Fountain show times indicate when the different music sets start every 30 minutes, but you can go to the Magic Fountain anytime during show times and access to the area around the fountain is open and free, so you can just arrive between 7 and 9pm in the winter and you can visit the Magic fountain show.

There is no seating and no tickets, so you can move around or just find a spot to stand or sit and enjoy the show. This is a truly a magical and lovely experience, not least because of the fountains and the backdrop of a palace and the city views with Tibidabo hill and church Sagrat Cor in the background.
