With kids
Selwo Marina Amusement Park is the perfect place to keep the kids busy all day and offer them interesting experiences.
At the entrance, you'll get a map with a schedule of attractions so you can plan your day conveniently. In between watching shows with parrots, seals or dolphins, you can wander the park, meet other animals or take a zipline ride across the lake. The kids will love the penguins.
A local bistro will take care of snacks or lunch.
If you want to cool off a bit, head to the rock town with the kids. Here we write which route is suitable for children.
The Torre del Mar Waterpark is directly opposite the Ingenio Shopping Centre. It is usually open from June to September, unfortunately due to the difficult water situation last year they were only open during the summer holidays.
The cave near Nerja provides not only a pleasant escape from the heat, but also an unusual experience.
They are furnished for tourists, so it is not a problem to take children on a trip here. The walkways are straight, the stairs have handrails. The formations are well lit and you can explore the cave on your own, without a guide.
Do you have kids big enough to go karting? Then don't hesitate and go for a ride!
There's a track just outside Torre del Mar where they're almost always free and their karts are tuned to really go.
When you get tired, you can grab a drink and play air hockey at the local bar.

There's a butterfly house in Benalmadena. We recommend going there on a sunny day, you will see many more of them flying than when it is under a cloud.
There are feeders placed everywhere, so you can easily catch snapshots of the butterfly beauties. The staff have very interesting and not too long explanations, and if the kids can speak English, they will definitely engage them in conversation.
Sea Life in Benalmadena offers an interesting spectacle and a bit of education for children interested in marine life.
In season, in addition to the aquarium, there is also a seal show.
It's such a pocket castle, perfect for a trip with children. You can sit down for a coffee and let the youngsters climb through the towers and corridors of the mini castle.
