WELCOME TO KIDS IN MARBELLARecommended By Kids In Marbella

Hello, KIDS IN MARBELLA is the idea of two friends with small children living on the Costa Del Sol, in the south of Spain, that want to share our acquired experiences in entertaining our little ones by finding new exciting places and activities to do on the coast.

We want to use this site to let you know about all the different and exciting places and activities there are for you and your family along the coast.  These experiences range from local parks and playgrounds, Child friendly places to eat and beaches to sporting activities and soft play centres.

We hope that you find our posts helpful and informative, we have added as much information as possible including addresses, contact details, opening times and prices and as many pictures as possible to help you identify the right activity.

We look forward to you visiting the site many times and sharing your comments and experiences with us.

See you again soon…

Adventure sports with kids with TEAM XTREMETell Us More

Team Xtreme promote adventure holidays and corporate events in Andalucía, Spain and are packed with exhilarating activities that will make you feel energised and inspired.

At Team Xtreme, they’ve evaluated and selected the most breathtaking outdoor adventure activities. They are suitable for different ages and abilities and all are provided by experienced and qualified professionals in their respective fields, so you’re guaranteed to have the best possible experience.

Their activities are available in Andalucía with a superb all-year-round Mediterranean climate.

I found this group on Facebook. Normally they mainly work with grownups but not long ago they had a group of 14 kids (ages between 4 and 12 years old) which they took canyoning in the river Guadalmina.

After I had a look at the pictures I though it was worth mentioning in our site, specially for the little older kids this must be a great thing to do.

Aping About – GibraltarTell Us More

There is a new soft play centre opening in Gibraltar called Aping About, it is situated on Coral Road and sounds like it will be lots of fun.

It has everything you would expect from a soft play centre, a giant play structure so they can climb,  slide and generally run around and use up all that energy!  Whilst the kids are having a good time, you can sit down and have a cup of tea in the cafe, where you can find all sorts of refreshments and foods, from baguettes and salads to ice cream and cool drinks.

If you do need to pop out to do your shopping whilst the kids are there, then there is a service available whereby you can leave your kids with them, as long as you book in advance, letting you get your jobs done whilst they have lots of fun!

The centre is available for birthdays and other events, if you require more information then call on 0035 56001142 or visit their website www.apingabout.com

They have a huge indoor play area with lots of slides, huge ball pool, exciting tunnels and maizes, air powered guns and a great Zip Wire.  There are camaras on all play areas to give parents piece of mind. For the little ones there is a dedicated toddler area.

There is a play area outside as well which will be ideal when the weather is cooler, this area has lots of comfy sofas for mums and dads to chill out a little and relax.  There are plans to have different activities outside according to the weather, during the summer there will be a covered paddling pool (monitored at all times) once a week, just to give the kids something different to do.
