Family trip to A Coruna with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

Family holidays in the Spanish city of La Coruna will be a wonderful pastime. Here you can do everything that your heart desires - active leisure (beach sports, swimming, visiting entertainment centers, water sports - surfing, SUP-boarding), enjoying serenity (sunbathing, walking in the park), cultural activities (cultural, historical, natural sightseeing).

Young travelers will surely appreciate Aquapark Cerceda. The complex is small but very spacious, the smallest ones will like this place more than others. However, not only children can find entertainment for themselves - all kinds of water rides are available here for people of any age category. The water park is unique of its kind and is considered the best in Galicia. That is why here you can spend a whole day without even noticing how it flew by so fast. The park houses a cafe where amazingly delicious pizza and ice cream are served. Here you can also find Jardin Botanico Cerceda, a great place to contemplate and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.

Another place that kids will surely love is Aquarium Finisterrae. The most valuable "artifact" of the aquarium is the "Nautilus" room where instead of the walls there are panoramic windows behind which fish swim. In total, the center has four exhibition halls and a biological collection including more than 300 fish species. In addition, interesting rides, many interactive exhibits, as well as seal shows, are offered to children of all ages. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Near the aquarium is one of the most wonderful places in town - Parque de Punta Herminia. Besides a variety of opportunities for family recreation (walking, playgrounds, golf), it presents many attractions such as Rosa dos Ventos, Torre de Hércules, Menhires pola Paz, as well as a large number of interesting monuments. It's definitely worth walking through the park, and not least because of the incredibly beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean.

One of the best beaches for families is located here in the park. It is called Praia das Lapas, where you can find all the amenities you need - equipment rentals, sun loungers for sunbathing, and benches for picnicking. Well, you can also enjoy swimming here, of course. In winter, when the Atlantic Ocean is unsuitable for swimming, this opportunity can be found in Piscina Municipal de Riazor. The swimming complex is large, due to which it has enough space for absolutely everyone. Among other entertainment centers, it's worth mentioning Karting Marineda, where, as the name implies, karting is the offered activity. All kids will get a fantastic experience in the center called Fan Square where young visitors are entertained by animators, have fun with other kids and often make new friends.

Get the most pleasant impressions from playing “bubble football” - this pastime will surely be remembered by children (and not only) for a very long time. Try it out in Bubble Football Costa da Morte. However, the same impressions await those visiting Megajump where kids will be able to enjoy plenty of jumping time. Adults can join them as well, thus turning a family rest into the most wonderful leisure. They can also find trampolines in Jumping Clay A Coruna. Another great place for family fun is Solbowling. Here, as you might guess by the name, you can play bowling.

It is worth noting several must-visit museums perfect for families with children. First of all, this is the Museo Nacional de Ciencia e Tecnoloxía presenting many interesting exhibits, most of which are interactive. The main attraction of the museum is a real cockpit in section. Yes, and one more thing, there is no need to pay for the entrance. The second museum which your kids will certainly enjoy is the Museo Histórico Militar da Coruña. Here visitors can expect an exhibition of objects associated with military service (for example, an exhibition of weapons from different periods).
