Safely tucked away on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, Valencia is one of Spain’s most beautiful cities that everyone should visit at least once in a lifetime. It’s an especially great pick for family trips since it happens to be home to several kid-friendly attractions.

City of Arts and Sciences

This futuristic complex is Valencia’s top tourist attraction and it will keep your kids entertained for an entire day. You can find a planetarium, an oceanographic park, and an interactive museum on its premises and spend countless hours exploring them with your family.

The Fallas Museum

The Fallas Festival is a very popular cultural event in Valencia. Papier-mâché sculptures known as ninots are displayed all around the city whenever it takes place, only to be burnt at the very end. Some of the sculptures have been saved over the years, and they’re now displayed at this museum.

Gulliver Park

No family trip is complete without a visit to local parks, and one of the most kid-friendly attractions of this kind is located near the City of Arts and Sciences. Inspired by Jonathan Swift’s book Gulliver’s Travels, this whimsical park features a huge sculpture of the titular character that children can climb and slide on.
