Everything you should know before you book
Malaga and the wider Costa del Sol are made for a family trip: the Fuengirola Bioparc, Benalmadena's Sea Life aquarium and Butterfly Park, Selwo Marina's dolphins, and the Torremolinos crocodile park and Aqualand water park sit a short hop along the coast, while the Museum of Imagination keeps younger kids busy in the centre. This list ranks the family favourites by review score so you can pick the ones that fit your children's ages.
Buy dated tickets for the busy ones. The animal parks, Aqualand, and the Benalmadena cable car get crowded on weekends and through the summer school holidays, so a booked entry saves a queue. The cable car up Mount Calamorro pairs a gentle ride with falconry displays and easy walks at the top.
Frequently asked questions
What can you do in Malaga with young children?
Fuengirola Bioparc and Selwo Marina for animals, Benalmadena Sea Life and the Butterfly Park for indoor visits, Aqualand for a hot day, and the Museum of Imagination in the centre. The Benalmadena cable car is an easy crowd-pleaser.
Is Malaga good for a family beach trip?
Very — the city beaches and the resort towns of the Costa del Sol cluster the family attractions along one short train and bus line, so days out are easy without a car.
Are the Costa del Sol park tickets cheaper online?
Usually, and booking ahead guarantees entry on busy summer weekends when the animal parks and water park reach capacity.
