Discover Malaga as a family: activities to do with kids

Malaga city offers countless activities for the whole family. It is a really child-friendly city and has great activities to do with children. Museums, parks, beaches, hiking, biking, ice cream and much more are waiting for you in the capital.

Mónica Gruber, a specialist broker in Malaga, recommends these 5 activities to do with children in Malaga this summer:

Visit the Picasso Museum. For young artists.

Children have a lot of imagination and little prejudice about art. If you know how to explain it to them and if it they can take part, they enjoy themselves very much in a tour specially designed for them. The Picasso Museum of Malaga has been focused on making the work of the Malaga and international genius, Pablo Picasso, accessible and understandable. Among its programmes, it offers guided tours for families. The language options are Spanish, English, French and German.

Experimenting at the Museum of Imagination. For creative children.

In this small museum, it is essential to bring a camera or cell phone to take fun pictures. It is a treat for the eyes and a place of astonishment. It has a more scientific part that explains many optical mysteries. The rest is very striking and interactive. We recommend going early in the morning and during the week because it will be quieter.

Playing in a Malaga park. For children who enjoy playing.

The capital of the Costa del Sol has plenty of parks and gardens. These are a respite in the open air and allow children to develop all their motor skills. Dads, mums and kids can enjoy pirate ships, slides, swings and even animals. We especially like the “Parque del Cine”, the “Parque del Oeste” and the “Parque de la Isla del Tesoro”.

Enjoy the beach. For children who love the sea.

All beaches in Malaga are suitable for children. However, some have playgrounds, showers or restaurants on the beach that make it easier to go with the family. As regards the safest beaches for children, we recommend La Malagueta or Pedregalejo as the waves are usually very mild.

Have a lovely ice cream. For children with a sweet tooth.

Malaga enjoys good weather almost all year round and in summer the heat rises. Having a delicious ice cream is one of its great pleasures. There are hundreds of ice cream parlours, but there is one that is a must. We are referring to “Casa Mira”, one of the oldest in the province. Its flavours are classic, such as strawberry or chocolate, but it has some more proposals suitable for kids such as kinder or cookie.
