• Spend the day at the Beach: Spend sun-soaked days building sandcastles and splashing in the waves at Postiguet, Albuefereta, and San Juan beaches, all perfect for family fun by the sea. All three are blue flag beaches, althought the closest one to the city and the busiest is Postiguet. When you arrive at the beach you will be right next to the Melia hotel. Our tip is to walk all the way to the end of the walkway where you will find it a little less crowded additionally, there’s a charming Chiringuito bar, ensuring parents can relax and enjoy themselves while the children happily play among the palm trees.

• Tram to Villajoyosa: Villajoyosa, a picturesque coastal town known for its colorful houses and beautiful beaches.The tram is a very economical way to travel around the region and you can make it even cheaper if you buy a bono card with multiple trips to greatly reduce the cost of an individual trip. You’ll need to catch the Benidorm tram to get to Villajoyosa. Don’t get off at the Villajoyosa stop, get off at Crueta as it’s closer to the beach. Our insider tip is to catch the tram at Luceros, as the tram to Benidorm can get very busy in the summer and you’ll want to bag a seat. The route is quite scenic, so make sure you have a view out of the right window on the way to Villajoyosa. https://www.tramalacant.es/en/

• Castle of San Fernando: Venture to the lesser-known Castle of San Fernando, perched further back in the city. It was built as a fort to protect from the threat of invasion by Napoleon’s troops. There’s not too much of the fort left but the walls remain. The views from here are superb and there is a cafe very close so that you can enjoy the wonderful views. After you’ve enjoyed the cafe head in the opposite direction of the castle to discover the lovely park there. https://www.alicante.es/es/patrimonio-cultural/castillo-san-fernando

• Aqualandia Water Park: Cool off from the Spanish heat with a visit to Aqualandia Water Park in Benidorm. With thrilling slides, lazy rivers, and splash zones, it’s guaranteed fun for the whole family and the gardens are beaufully kept. In our opinion it’s the best water park in the whole region. You can take a Tram to Benidorm then a taxi or bus to complete the last little leg of the journey or you can take a bus from Alicante to Bendorm, then another from the centre to Aqualandia. They have reasonably priced food as well but if you prefer to take a picnic its allowed.

We’re so lucky to have these two fantastic galleries in Alicante.Both museums are easily accessible and free to enter, making them ideal for family outings and enriching experiences for kids.
  • MUBAG houses classic paintings and sculptures from the sixteenth century to the early twentieth century. It’s a great opportunity for children to explore historical art and learn about Alicante’s heritage.

• Serra Grossa Mountain: Hike up Serra Grossa Mountain for breathtaking views of Alicante and its surroundings, providing a memorable outdoor adventure for the whole family. Take a picnic but also be aware that there is vert little shade on the top of the mountain so this activity is best done before lunch. We usually scramble up the slightly steeper side of the mountain, next to the Plaza Mar 2 tram station and then climb down again at Albufereta, where you can either catch the tram (isleta) back to Alicante or enjoy the beach a while. Allow a couple of hours for this activity.

Its about a 45 min walk from the city, a 10 minute bus (No.27) or 8 minute taxi ride from the centre.

• Swimming Pools: Beat the heat with a refreshing swim at one of Alicante’s swimming pools, offering a change from the beach. There are no leisure pools, as such in Alicante centre. For leisure pools and Aqua parks head to Aqualandia or Splash Park Rio Safair in Elche. If you want a swim in a traditional pool the best one in Alicante centre, in our opinion is at the Monte Tossal Leisure Centre. (Calle Foguerer José Romeu Zarandieta, 2, 03005 Alicante). The link here will give you all the municipal pools in Alicante.

• Paella Making Workshop: Delve into the culinary delights of Spain with a paella making workshop, where families can learn the art of cooking this iconic dish together, creating delicious memories to cherish forever. The activity involves a trip to the central market to buy ingredients with the chef and then a hands on Paella making session together with the rest of your group. Perfect for getting the kids interested in food and bringing them out of their shells. We always find that if the kids help to prepare the meal they’re more likley to want to eat it. The trip includes a glass or two Sangria (non alcoholic version available for the kids). You can book tickets here.

• Visit the Alicantes air raid shelters: Kids might find an air-raid shelter tour in Alicante intriguing due to its historical significance. These shelters, remnants of the Spanish Civil War, offer a glimpse into the past. They can experience the cramped conditions, learn about the bombings, and even hear recordings that simulate the wartime atmosphere. It’s a unique way to engage with history and understand the impact of conflict on civilians

They can marvel at the variety of fish and meats, and explore colorful fruits and vegetables, enhancing their knowledge about different foods. The bustling atmosphere, filled with lively vendors and shoppers, adds to the excitement, making it a fun way for children to learn about local cuisine and market culture in an engaging, hands-on environment.

• El Cookie: A really warm welcome awaits at El Cookie, which is an american style cafe in the heart of the Mercado Barrio and very close to the central market. The reviews on Google and Tripadvisor speak for themselves. The cookies and bagels are delicious (and you have to try the cinnamon rolls!) El cookie is run by a lovely American couple for whom nothing is too much trouble. El cookie even hosts weekly events such as board game nights and baking classes. (Address: Calle Poeta Quintana 27). Check out their website for more information.

• Catch the train (or bus) to Elche City centre: If you’re on holiday in Alicante and fancy a trip out of the city, visit nearby Elche (Elx in Valencian), a city of big surprises. Kids will love exploring the oasis of palm trees, old fortresses, and Arab baths turned convents. Walking through Elche’s old town, they’ll see diverse architectural styles and enjoy the lively Plaza de la Glorieta, home to the famous replica of the Lady of Elche. A short walk to Plaza de la Mercé offers a cosy family atmosphere with lovely terraces for snacks.

• Take Photos in Mushroom Street: This surreal street (it’s proper name is Calle San Francisco), that feels a bit like like a scene from a children’s movie has become a real attraction in the past few years. Everyone wants to come and take photos of Mushroom street. Once it was a nondescript and neglected street. So the mayor at the time decided to do something about it and in a bold move, the street was given this crazy makeover. Ten-foot-high mushroom sculptures emerged, rising from newly painted green and yellow cobblestones. Nowadays the street is one of the most famous scenes in photographs of Alicante and hardly anybody uses the real name of the street anymore.

• Visit the old Roman City of Lucentum: The Romans were very early settlers in Alicante. They called it Lucentum, the city of light. The city of Lucentum is located on the Tossal De Manises, which is in Albufereta, a few stops on the tram from Alicante. At the time of the cities existence, it would have been higher than all the ground surrounding but now it’s hard to been find it in amongst the high rise buildings all around it. The site is fascinating, especially if your kids have studied Roman history at school yet. Don’t expect a huge amount of interactive hands on displays for the kids but it’s a nice diversion for a morning. Tours are available but you need to phone in advance. The cost is about 3 euros entrance fee and free for children under 8 years old. (Website)

• Visit Gran Via shopping centre: For teens that can’t stop shopping, you have the Gran Via shopping centre. It’s not a huge shopping centre but a welcome diversion on a sweltering hot day. Here you can find several well known brands, including Lefties, a large Primark store, primor and Bershka plus loads more. There is a small amusement area for little kids and even a small IKEA design centre for the mums and dads, so they don’t miss out on their favourite Swedish Design store. The top floor contains a range of restaurants including the ever popular Burger King while the bottom floor has a hug Carrefour. Parking is free. C/ José García Sellés, 2. 03015 – Alicante

• Have fun on the beach: with so many blue flag beaches to choose from, why would you not go to the beach while you are in Alicante. The three best beaches in Alicante are Postiguet, Albuefereta and San Jun Playa. Each one has a different vibe: Postiguet is always busy and very close to the city centre (it’s our favourite). Albuefereta is prettier and smaller and San juan is a huge 7 km of wide golden sand. You can find really nice chiringuitos at all three for drinks and snacks. There are kids climbing frames and volleyball courts available on all three also.

• Go Kart Racing: Go-karting is an exhilarating activity that captivates kids for several reasons. First and foremost, it boosts their hand-eye coordination. The physical activity involved also contributes to their physical fitness, strengthening core muscles, improving balance, and increasing coordination. Whether racing with friends or family, kids learn communication, sportsmanship, and cooperation. Additionally, facing setbacks like losing a race or crashing teaches them resilience—an essential life skill.  In Alicante you can find Electric Karting in San Vicente which is accesible by Tram or Petrol Driven Karting, a short drive or a taxi ride.

• The Museum of water: The Museo de Aguas de Alicante (Alicante Water Museum) is located in the Old Town of Alicante. Although the museum is not huge and a visit won’t last more than an hour typically, it’s a good one to combine with a walk around the old town. The signs and information in the museum are mostly in Spanish but it’s visual enough to get a good idea if you’re not comfortable with Spanish. The reason that this museum is one of the great things to do in Alicante with kids is the excavated caves that were used to hold water many years ago. They do feel like a grotto, it s great experience for kids and adults alike. There’s also some great views from the old town, so it’s well worth putting a little time aside for this free activity.

• Chocolate con churros at Valor or Visit the Museum of Chocolate: Chocolate con churros is a beloved combination in Spain, and the most popular cafe in Spain to eat this sweet treat is Valor. In Alicante you can find a Valor cafe on the Explanada. When you walk inside the cafe you’ll feel like you’ve gone back in time. A few miles up the coast, you can find the Valor Museum of Chocolate in Villajoyosa. If you’re arriving by tram the nearest stop Crueta is only 5 minutes walk from the museum. The museum is free to enter but you do need to book your ticket in advance through the website. This is a nice one to combine with a trip to the very pretty beach at Villajoyosa. We did the museum in the morning and then the beach in the afternoon after lunch.

• Parque Lo Morant: Parque Lo Morant is like a little green haven tucked away in the north of the city. Named after the architect José Morant, it’s become our go-to spot for family picnics as an alternative to beach picnics. There are fitness areas, a small lake, benches under shady trees where we can chat, read, or just watch the world go by. So, if you’re looking for an alternative location for a lovely walk and a picnic, grab your blanket, soak up the sun, and had to Parque Lo Morant—we’re all part of its story.

• Family Park: Family park is a small park for families with younger children. There are two Family Parks in Aliante, one is in San Vicente (Tram line 2) and the other is in Albufereta (Tram lines 1,3,4 and 5). On the website you’ll see the Albufereta park advertised as being in San Juan but, in reality, its closer to Albufereta. Both parks have plenty for the little ones and both are free to enter. Out tip would be to buy the wrist band so that the kids have full access to everything as many times as they want. There is a cafe for parents to relax while the kids play. https://familyparkalicante.com

• Rio Safari Park Elche: We haven’t ever visited this park yet but we have friends who say they enjoyed it. Located in Elche, the park offers a unique wildlife experience perfect for families and nature enthusiasts. The park features a diverse range of animals, including lions, giraffes, elephants, and exotic birds, all housed in spacious enclosures designed to mimic their natural habitats.

There are also opportunities for up-close encounters with some of the animals, making it an exciting and educational visit for all ages.

Its museum offers fascinating exhibits that kids might enjoy, showcasing the rich history of bullfighting.

• Salinas de Torrevieja: Visiting the largest Sea Salt production facililty in Europe, the Salinas de Torrevieja on the tourist train from Torrevieja is a interesting experience. The striking pink waters of the salt lakes, a unique natural phenomenon are quite enchanting. The journey itself is a delight, offering scenic views and an educational insight into the region’s salt production. Kids might not be so interested in the audio but they will be mesmerized by the mountains of salt, the vivid colors and, hopefully, the sighting of flamingos, making it a memorable family outing. Getting to Torrevieja is a bit of a hike from Alicante so it’s best to plan this trip in combination with something else in the area.
