Glockenspiels have thinner,smaller metal bars, and metallophones have thicker bars. The sounds are quite similar and the instruments look much the same, too.

A glockenspiel is a percussion instrument with metal bars that are struck with a mallet to produce sound, usually tuned to a specific pitch. A metallophone is a percussion instrument with metal bars or plates that are also struck with a mallet, but it typically has a wider range of tones and may not always be tuned to specific pitches like a glockenspiel.
