Family trip to Ibiza Island with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

Ibiza is world-famous as a holiday place for the youth. Wild 24-hours parties, fancy DJs, and amazing shows – this is what the island is famous for. But despite such a fame, Ibiza is considered to be a good place for a family vacation.

But in other coastal towns and villages nightlife does not leave the designated places, that is why those places will be good for a vacation even with a small child.

In any more or less big hotel you will find a children’s swimming pool and a junior club. Most of the hotels also have a kids’ menu. You can take a child of any age to the Aguamar Water Park, which is located in Playa d’en Bossa. The is a pool for toddlers, slides for older children, and really extreme slides for grown-ups. If you get tired, you can always sunbath in a deckchair at the pool, and there is a café and a restaurant right on the territory of the park.

If your child is old enough for the extreme activities, you can go to Slingshot Ibiza Amusement Riden park. They sure have the attractions for little kids, but the most interesting ones are still the dizzying catapults. In the evening the whole park is illuminated. Ibiza Express Santa Eularia is aimed at a more relaxed rest. There are places to throw a picnic and take a walk. The children will most definitely like an opportunity to take a tour around the park on a little train. Little speed fans will like it in IBIZA KARTING San Antonio, the most famous carting club on the island. Keep in mind that it is open for the visitors only during certain hours, when professional sportsmen don’t have a practice. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
