It's routine for every visitor to Barcelona, really: take bus to Parc Güell; dismount bus; wander around; be amazed; take photo with the lizard-dragon thing. Also, possibly have pockets picked in the crowds. Petty theft is big in Barcelona.
So yes, basically, it's a tourist trap. But here's the thing: sometimes tourist traps are for a reason. The reasons here:
Columns of rocks rising up to create half-formed caves.
A wildly elaborate tile bench, winding its way across the top of the park.
A covered palace of white columns where you look up and are greeted by fantastical starfish in a sea of white tile.
And that lizard. He's beautiful, really.
