Summer is the season of the year when you are supposed to enjoy places like Benidorm the most because of its beaches and climate, especially with children. However, Benidorm is a tourist city that can be enjoyed 365 days a year with the little ones. Discover how to enjoy the spring in Benidorm.
10 reasons to visit Benidorm in spring with children
If you’re wondering what to do in Benidorm with children, we give you no less than 10 reasons why choosing Benidorm as a tourist destination is an excellent idea. Take note and surprise your little ones.
1. Its great climate
Benidorm has a very good climate virtually all year round. Therefore, it is ideal to visit with children. Children don’t like to go from one place to another when it’s cold, raining, etc. It’s a great time to visit the city without the summer heat and also to avoid filling your suitcase with coats and jumpers that are so heavy to carry around.
2. Its beaches, in spring too
Children love the beach, which is why Benidorm is one of the best destinations for them. Although in spring you might not feel like wearing your swimming costume and going for a dip, if the weather is nice you can go for a walk, make a sand castle or collect shells on the beach. We recommend Levante Beach, the most popular and fun beach for children. It also has children’s games, swings and a beach library.
What other beaches can you visit? The Poniente beach, the Mal Pas beach or the Almadraba cove. What do they all have in common? They are all charming beaches with clean waters and a very relaxing atmosphere for a chilled day out.
3. Mundomar
Mundomar is a wonderful place to enjoy the animals. Don’t miss the dolphin show or the parrots in the rainforest. If you want the little ones to have fun and learn a lot of things about animals, this is a must for them.
4. Its train and tourist bus
The tourist train and the tourist bus can be two fun activities to get to know the city with the kids. You can choose between the double-decker tourist bus for only €6 per route or the tourist train for €5.95 for adults and €3.95 for children. You’ll no longer hear the little ones say “I don’t want to walk around the city!
Which one do we recommend? Both are great fun for children. So, if you have several days to enjoy Benidorm, choose one for each day.
5. Its activities
Benidorm offers a wide variety of activities for the whole family to enjoy, and not just in summer. If in spring you don’t feel like snorkelling, you can opt for bike rides or trips to the waterfalls. The city has tourist agencies or you can hire them before setting off on your holiday.
You can also visit some towns like Guadalest, a charming medieval village, Calpe or Villajoyosa. A piece of advice: don’t go with anything planned, just leisurely wander through the streets. Be sure to buy some nice souvenirs and eat in one of the traditional restaurants.
6. Dino Park Algar
What child doesn’t like dinosaurs? Dino Park Algar has endless activities to learn more about them while having fun. You can dig in a palaeontological park, go inside a baby dinosaur or travel through time in the Journey to Earth’s Past room.
And what about the food? Don’t worry about it. You can take your own picnic or eat at their fast food restaurant with dishes that the little ones will love.
What do we recommend? Before visiting Dino Park, prepare the visit a little beforehand. If you tell the little ones interesting facts about dinosaurs, they’ll get much more out of the visit.
7. Benidorm Circus
What child doesn’t love the world of the circus? Benidorm Circus is a very special circus. A lot of shows adapted to modern times with magic, juggling and other surprises, and with no animals, that will keep you glued to your seat for roughly 2 hours.
8. Terra Mitica
One of Spain’s most visited theme parks is Terra Mítica. Dedicated to the history of Egypt, Greece and Rome, there are lots of rides and shows such as Ayquesustos or Alucinakis for an unforgettable day out. And for a rest, don’t miss the cinema at the Kimetos temple.
If you want children to start loving history at a very young age, this is one of the best ways to do it. After the visit, they’ll be desperate to know more about other civilisations.
9. Terra Natura
A zoo adapted to the modern day with all kinds of experiences. Among others you have: educational interaction with birds, a guided visit to the elephant or rhino area, a school of fairies and elves who protect the animals, the burrito experience or the Night Safari. A great way to instil love and respect for animals in children.
10. The Mediterranean viewpoint
Are you tired of going back and forth? Well, stop for a while to take in the breathtaking views offered by the Mediterranean viewpoint. No wonder it is one of the city’s most emblematic spots. During the spring, ideally you should go at a time when it’s sunny and enjoy the sun while taking in the views.
Now that you know what to do in Benidorm in spring with the kids, don’t hesitate any longer. Start planning your trip! It will become one of the family’s unforgettable experiences. So, what are you waiting for?
