From zoos and water parks to playgrounds and ice cream spots, here are the best things to do in Fuengirola with kids.
Bioparc Fuengirola
Bioparc Fuengirola is one of the best animal parcs in Spain and an absolute must-visit with kids. This isn’t your typical zoo, as the animals live in beautifully designed, natural-looking habitats. You’ll walk through jungle-like surroundings and spot animals like tigers, gorillas and lemurs up close. It’s both fun and educational. And even though it’s quite small, there’s enough to see to keep the kids entertained for a few hours.

Aquamijas
One of the best things to do in Fuengirola with kids in the summer is visiting an water park. Aquamijas is the perfect place to cool down on a hot day. This water park offers slides, wave pools and splash areas for kids of all ages. There are also more relaxed areas if you prefer to take it easy while the kids play. It’s a great family outing during the summer months.
Sould Park Fuengirola
Sould Park is a small amusement park located right by the beach promenade. It’s especially fun in the evening when everything lights up. You’ll find rides, arcade games and small attractions that are perfect for younger kids. It’s an easy and fun stop during an evening stroll. Keep in mind that in weekdays Sould Park doesn’t open until 5 pm.
Dolphin spotting with Fuengirola Sea Trips
For a truly memorable experience, go dolphin spotting with Fuengirola Sea Trips. You’ll head out onto the sea and, if you’re lucky, spot dolphins swimming alongside the boat. Kids absolutely love this activity, and it’s a great way to enjoy the ocean and see wildlife in their natural habitat. Click here to buy tickets for only 18,-.

Parque De La Fantasia
Parque De La Fantasia is a charming playground with a magical twist. Kids can climb on a large spider-like structure and explore different fairytale statues throughout the park. It’s a fun and creative place where children can let their imagination run wild
Rooftop karts at Miramar Centro Comercial
At Miramar Centro Comercial, a large shopping mall in Fuengirola, you’ll find a fun surprise on the roof: a go-kart track. Older kids (and parents!) can race around while enjoying views over the area. It’s a unique activity that combines shopping with a bit of adventure.
Parque del Poniente
Parque del Poniente is a great playground featuring a large pirate ship that kids can climb and explore. It’s perfect for adventurous children who love to play pretend. The park is clean and a nice spot to relax while the kids burn off some energy.
Parque Natural de Fuengirola
Parque Natural de Fuengirola is another fantastic playground, with different play areas for various age groups. One of the highlights is the big wooden dinosaur, which kids absolutely love. It’s a great park for a family outing, with plenty of space to play and relax
Gelatissimo
No family trip is complete without ice cream, and Gelatissimo is my favorite ice cream shop in Fuengirola. They serve delicious, creamy gelato in a wide variety of flavors. It’s the perfect treat after a day of exploring or a visit to the beach.
