The weekend comes and your head starts to spin thinking what to do with your children on those days… Stop worrying, here you have five fantastic proposals to have a great time with your children in Málaga.
Málaga is a great destination to enjoy with the little queens and kings of the house.
Of course, you can enjoy beaches, parks and natural landscapes almost all the year but you can also pay a visit to some of the theme parks located all along the Costa del Sol where the whole family will have a fantastic experience.
Water Parks
Aqualand Torremolinos, Aquamijas and Aquavelis
The biggest of the three is the one known to ‘malagueños’ as “Aquapark” although some years ago the park was renamed as ‘Aqualand Torremolinos’. It is not only the biggest water park in the Costa del Sol but also one of the biggest in Andalucía. The whole family will have a great time there with the highest water slides, the wave pool, the jacuzzis or the big area for small children recently expanded.
This Water Park have restaurants and bars where you can have lunch but experienced visitors use to bring their own food from home as value for money is not especially good. Other costs to consider are lockers for personal belongings (5€), car park (2€) and if you want to avoid queues in some attractions you’ll have to buy the VIP ticket.
Opening hours
The park opens on July 10, 2021
July and August: from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
If you prefer other Water Parks, smaller but cheaper, you can visit Aquamijas and Aquavelis both in the Costa del Sol.
