Family trip to Novo Mesto with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

The city on the Krka River is a great place to visit as a family. The picturesque views of the city are fascinating from the first moment, there is some romance inherent in it. Probably that's why hundreds of tourists come here every year - not only to admire the views but also have plenty of fun. Besides city tours covering historical and cultural sights, children would be happy to walk in parks, visit museums and entertainment centers, go on ecological tours that are held within and outside the city. The city is ready to offer a lot of great camping spots.

Little citizens will surely appreciate the time spent in Poletna Termalna Riviera, a water park with many water attractions designed for children of any age (adults, however, can feel like they've never grown up too). The surrounding nature is striking in its beauty so spending time here is pure pleasure. There are several pools for every taste - a deep one, a pool for babies, a lazy river, a wave pool, a whirlpool, and an oriental pool. Besides that, once hungry, you can visit a cafe on-site or have a picnic with a family.

Nearby there are two campgrounds - Kamp New Recepcija and Kamp Terme Čatež. It is worth noting the incredibly amazing views from here. Among children-friendly entertainment centers and playgrounds, Otroško Igrišče and Park ob Gradu Grm deserve special mention. The first playground is located in a tourist area near Qlandia Shopping Center (by the way, young travelers would be happy to check out Praline Cafe that serves delicious ice cream). In Park ob Gradu Grm, besides admiring the stunning scenery, you can also shoot a bow. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Together with the kids, it's worth visiting Pustolovski Park Otočec where you can have active time climbing trees and trying yourself as a climber. The park is beautifully designed and absolutely safe - there are routes of various difficulty levels, and pre-training is required. It should be borne in mind that the working hours depend on weather conditions. Nearby are Sport tennis court and Tekmovalni Paintball Club. On the other side, there is a place where you can arrange a great campsite - Autocamp Otočec (offering magnificent views due to its location by the lake). You can also teach your kids to play golf if you visit nearby Golf Grad Otočec.

Young travelers who are already familiar with the history of the Second World War would find it interesting that there was once a bunker in the city, and it can be found on Drska Street. Be sure to take the kids on a guided tour so that they can see the military equipment of those times and feel the incomparable atmosphere of touching the past. Visitors to the city can go horseback riding - they just need to visit Konjeniški Klub Novo Mesto. A horse ride will certainly impress any child and leave only the most pleasant experience.

No trip to Novo Mesto can do without pampering the kids. So, you can try tasty ice cream at Slaščičarna Malaga Jusuf Rustemi, give preference to delicious pastries at Gostisce Loka, and Tea House - Cajarna serves finger-licking good pies. For pizza lovers, the city has Ostarija Rudolfswerth Pizzeria, and Boheja Restavracija Bar is for those looking for original desserts.
