Family holidays with children in Azerbaijan - attractions and entertainment

Children of all ages adore water entertainments and all kinds of water slides. If you plan to visit Azerbaijan together with family and children, don’t forget to visit local aqua parks. AF Hotel-Aqua Park is the first stop in our list. The entrance to this park is not restricted to guests of the hotel only. Everyone is welcome to visit it. The park is located near the coastline of the Caspian Sea and offers not only numerous water amusements but also several bars, restaurants with the national cuisine, a fitness hall, and a private beach.

In Azerbaijan, there are also several aqua parks that are adjacent to hotels. For example, the Pullman Baku Hotel, which is located not far from the historic center of the capital, has its own aqua park with a separated area for small children – a special shallow swimming pool. Here, visitors can relax in one of the swimming pools of their choice – in an indoor one or an outdoor one. Luxurious Bilga Beach Hotel also offers its guests to visit not only an aqua park but also the biggest swimming pool in the capital. The recreation area of this popular entertainment center also offers delicious Azerbaijani cuisine to guests.

Diverse entertainment for visitors of all ages – this is a precise description of Khazar Golden Beach, a beachside resort near the Caspian Sea. Kids will be super excited to visit the hotel’s aqua park and swimming pools where they can have fun under the guidance of experienced animators. Meanwhile, mothers and fathers can relax in a bar, spa or play billiards – whatever they like more. Dalga Beach Aquapark Resort offers the biggest choice of swimming pools and water amusements in the region. Here, young visitors can try to surf in a special pool with artificial waves. Fans of water slides will surely want to try all six slides available in the park. Unfortunately, small kids are not allowed to enter the water area, but they can always play different games with animators in a special kids’ beach zone. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Zabitlər Parkı (or Officers’ Park) is the best place for a stroll in the fresh air in the capital of Azerbaijan. There are many green trees and flowers in the park. Besides that, visitors can look at different sculptures, and children will be glad to explore playgrounds for different ages. In Baku, tourists with both small children and teenagers will also find it interesting to visit the local zoo. Kids will see leopards and other wild cats, rare predatory birds that are nearly impossible to see in their natural habitat, and gracious herons. Among Azerbaijan parks, it is also important to mention the open-air Gala Museum. For children, it is always very interesting to visit a small farm, feed domestic animals, and see a real castle.

Gabaland is the most thrilling attraction park in Azerbaijan! It is located quite far from the capital, in Gabala, but this place definitely deserves time and effort spent to reach it. Interestingly, the park works all year round, so there are no “hot” and “low” seasons here. You will be able to see the mesmerizing views of the mountains, and your kids will have many amusements to keep them happy. Merry-go-rounds, swings, and extreme amusements – there are more than twenty entertainment areas in total. If you feel hungry after a burst of adrenaline, don’t forget to visit one of the local restaurants. It is particularly great to end the day with a stroll in a flower garden.

There is one more popular entertainment area inside one of the main landmarks of the capital – the Baku Boulevard. The waterfront itself is a wonderful place for a stroll, and various attractions will keep children of all ages entertained. Do not miss an opportunity to see the capital from a bird’s eye view. For this purpose, visit the Ferris wheel that is also located on the boulevard. After that, children will be excited to try various sweets in local cafes. Finish your day with a visit to a children theatre or cinema.
