Plans That Will Captivate Children (and Adults)
1. Zoobotánico Jerez: A Surefire Classic 🐅
It is the star of family plans in Jerez. Considered one of the best in Spain, the Zoobotánico not only houses an incredible collection of animals from five continents but also a spectacular botanical garden for shaded walks. You can bring your own food and enjoy their picnic areas. A full day of guaranteed fun!
2. The Magic of the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art 🐎
Although it may sound serious, the "How the Andalusian Horses Dance" show is pure magic for all ages. Children are mesmerized watching the horses perform tricks and move to the rhythm of the music. It is an elegant, beautiful experience that they will always remember.
3. The Children's City (*Ciudad de los Niños*): Let's Play!
This is the ultimate playground in Jerez. A huge, enclosed space with play areas for all ages: from swings for the little ones to zip lines, giant slides, and adventure zones for the older children. Perfect for burning off energy in the afternoon.
4. The Camera Obscura at the Alcázar: Jerez at Your Feet
Inside the majestic Alcázar (which is an adventure in itself with its walls and gardens), the Camera Obscura is an almost magical experience. You will ascend to the highest tower and, in a dark room, see the entire city projected onto a white screen in real-time and motion. It is a fun and surprising way to get to know Jerez.
5. A Family Beach Day 🏖️
Take advantage of Jerez's privileged location. As we mention in our beach guide, you are just 20-25 minutes from perfect family beaches like Valdelagrana (in El Puerto) or La Costilla Beach (in Rota), both with calm waters, fine sand, and full services.
6. The Nativity Scene Museum (*Museo de Belenes*): A Miniature World
Although it sounds like Christmas, this museum is open all year round and is fascinating for children. Seeing the scenes and the thousands of miniature figures stimulates their imagination. It is a different, short cultural visit that they usually love.
7. A Sweet Stroll Through the Center
End the day in the best way: with ice cream! Stroll along the central Calle Larga and stop at one of the artisan ice cream parlors. Sitting in the Plaza del Arenal while they enjoy their ice cream is the perfect finishing touch to a perfect day.
Jerez offers culture, fun, and adventure for every member of the family. Forget cramped hotel rooms and choose the comfort of a space just for you.
