Garcia Lorca Park
For those looking for things to do in Granada with children outdoors, the García Lorca Park is a magnificent place to consider.
It is one of the best parks we have in the capital. Not only because it is centrally located and has well-cared-for vegetation and plants, but also because the Huerta de San Vicente is located here, which was the summer family residence of the poet Federico García Lorca.
This building is currently a House-Museum that is located in the center of the park and that you can visit as a family to learn a little more about the famous poet from Granada.
In addition, for children there are also some swings in the park and a lake with ducks and turtles that everyone likes.
Sierra Nevada
Having the incredible Sierra Nevada so close to the capital, it is highly recommended to do some activity around here when visiting Granada with children.
And it is that whether in summer or winter, the mountains can offer you many activities in nature ideal to complement your trip, as well as to spend the day with the family.
And, what things to do with children in Sierra Nevada?
If you come in winter, there is no doubt that the star activity is skiing, both on your own and with a company that offers children’s courses.
But it is also possible to enjoy the snow sliding with sleds in the Hoya de la Mora, take a walk with snowshoes, take the kids to the Dreamland-Jardín Alpino enclosure to learn to ski, book an activity with a private company or go to the Mirlo Blanco Activity Park, where there is a roller coaster, magic carpet and slides at 2,100 meters of altitude!

Hiking route
Another of the free activities to do in Granada with children are the hiking trails.
In another previous post we already told you which are the best routes around Granada, and here we do not lack options for all tastes and levels.
Specifically, to do with the family and with children, there are some highly recommended routes, both for their simplicity and because the little ones will love them.
So we can recommend:
The Cahorros de Monachil route, a great option to do in spring or summer. It is very close to the capital and runs along the Monachil River, its main attraction being, without a doubt, the suspension bridges.
Or the Mammoth route, one of the most famous in the Lecrín Valley. It is specially designed for family tourism and that is why it is represented by the sculptures of a mammoth and a tiger. Its name is due to the discovery in the 80s of the prehistoric remains of a woolly mammoth.
Adventures in nature
If you keep wondering what are the bests plans to do with children in Granada and have fun, sports activities in nature will never fail you, where they can have fun and let off steam to infinity.
Just 15 minutes from the capital, in the town of Víznar, is the largest adventure park in Eastern Andalusia, Aventura Amazonia, with zip lines and adventure circuits for all ages.

Carmen de los Mártires
If you are looking for plans in Granada with children in which you can rest easy without leaving the city, we suggest you visit the Carmen de los Mártires, the largest and most well-known Carmen in Granada.
A Granada carmen is a type of typical Nasrid urban dwelling, with an adjoining green space, garden and orchard at the same time, which constitutes an extension of the dwelling.
In Granada we have numerous crimes, both public and private.
Specifically, the Carmen de los Mártires is located within the Alhambra complex and has well-kept gardens inhabited by very sociable peacocks.
Here you can take a quiet and pleasant walk with your family, take some photos and see the views of the city.
Children’s attractions in a shopping center
If you have to take the opportunity to do some shopping or even on bad weather days, a great idea could be to take the little ones to one of the shopping centers that we have in Granada.
- In C.C Nevada Shopping, (the largest in the province of Granada and one of the ten largest in Spain), there are several very fun children’s areas for the little ones, such as the Isla Tortuga family entertainment center or the Nevada Kids toy library.
- In the C.C Serrallo Plaza they have a Fun Park that, in addition to small attractions for children, includes the longest urban zip line in Spain, with 250 meters!
- In the Parque Comercial Granaíta, the Kids Club includes a play area and scheduled activities such as themed workshops, shows, storytelling… and much more! As well as an outdoor playground called the Kids Zone.
With all this children’s entertainment in Granada, fun is guaranteed! 😉
Visiting a Farm
If you are looking to enjoy all the options of activities that Granada offers but from a rural setting, there are some highly recommended options for families with children.
For example:
El Cortijo del Pino, a rural accommodation just 3 km from the capital that has several houses with all kinds of benefits, in addition to the possibility of carrying out activities in the rural environment. Here you can go for bike rides, visit the animals in their farmyard (chickens, ducks, rabbits, a sheep and a pig), as well as buy organic products from small Granada initiatives or enjoy the great cultural offer of the city of Granada.
Huerto Alegre, a cooperative committed to education, culture and the environment, which designs, promotes and develops environmental education programs in the natural, rural and urban areas. Among other things, it offers projects for schoolchildren, families and associations at an international level. It is located about 40km from the capital, but here you can enjoy its Sunday family activities, family weekends or family camps.
Ice skating
If you are wondering what activity to do in Granada with children that is original and fun for the whole family, what do you think if we suggest ice skating?
Although you may not believe that in the south of our country we can have a large ice rink, in Granada capital and specifically in the Zaidín neighborhood, we have Don Patín, a place where you can enjoy free skating sessions that include rent skates, as well as schools of figure skating and ice hockey or birthday celebrations.
It is a highly recommended activity to do as a family and very very fun, do not miss it!
Visiting the Alhambra
And of course, one of the best plans and best activities that can be done with children and babies in Granada is, without a doubt, visiting the Alhambra, the star monument and where no one visits it and is not amazed.
