Top Things to Do for Families in Mallorca

Mallorca has been a popular destination for decades — and for good reason. The island offers a wealth of attractions designed especially for families. From exciting water parks and impressive caves to nature reserves, there are countless opportunities for shared experiences. Whether you seek action, relaxation or discovery — every family will find its highlight here.

Water parks

Kids love it: slides and splashing about! Mallorca has three major water parks — Western Water Park in Magaluf, Hidropark in Alcúdia and Aqualand in El Arenal. Little ones can let off steam and parents may be tempted to join in. Pack sunscreen and swimwear!

Palma Aquarium

A highlight for children and adults alike. Although families also enjoy water activities, the aquarium offers a different kind of discovery with a variety of marine life, interactive exhibits and educational programs. Remember sunscreen and swimwear for nearby beach visits.

Go-karting with the family

Karting is not only fun but also adds a dose of adrenaline. In Magaluf you can find different kart classes — from mini karts for the smallest to fast models for adults. Everyone can show off their driving skills here.

La Reserva Galatzó nature experience

This nature reserve in the Tramuntana mountains offers a beautiful circular trail with waterfalls and rare animals like peacocks and goats. Children are especially fascinated by the bears (of course behind a fence). Adventurers can try climbing and rope-course activities!

Trip to the island of Cabrera

A day trip to the small island of Cabrera is perfect for nature lovers. Enjoy untouched beaches and a unique underwater world while snorkeling. Boats depart regularly from Colònia de Sant Jordi.

Learn sailing & stand-up paddling

Young watersport fans will love sailing or SUP courses. In Pollensa there are special children’s courses during school holidays — ideal for learning something new.

Discover Mallorca's caves

Mallorca has fascinating cave systems like the Coves del Drach (with live music on an underground lake) or the smaller Coves de Campanet with a tranquil atmosphere. Each cave offers a unique experience — perfect for hot summer days.

Horse riding on the beach or through the mountains

Whether on the beach at Cala Mesquida or in the mountains around Alcúdia, horse riding is a wonderful option for family outings in nature. Experienced instructors ensure safe tours — even for beginners.
