Family hotels in Spa

In Spa, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to family-friendly attractions and activities. Here's our spotlight on the best options for families to enjoy while visiting this unique Walloon treasure.

Spa is world-famous for its natural thermal waters, so be sure to explore Les Thermes de Spa, where you and your family can enjoy the warm, healing mineral waters in modern and comfortable surroundings. Next, discover the charming parks of Spa, such as the Parc de Sept Heures, where you'll find playgrounds, lush greenery and the historic Casino de Spa.

For those seeking adrenaline-pumping excitement, the Spa-Francorchamps Circuit is a must-visit. Home of the Belgian Grand Prix, this legendary racetrack offers the opportunity to experience motorsport events up close, particularly in August during the major race.

Harness your family's sense of adventure at Forestia Animal Park and Adventure Centre, close to Spa. With various animal species and adventure trails, there's no shortage of outdoor exploration and excitement for all ages here. Lastly, delve into local history with a family visit to the Château de Franchimont or the educational and interactive ThermoSpa water museum.

The ideal time to visit Spa with your family is during the warm summer months of June through August, when average temperatures range from a comfortable 18°C to 22°C. These are perfect conditions for exploring the town's numerous attractions and engaging in outdoor activities such as walking, cycling or visiting the Belgian Grand Prix held in August at the Spa-Francorchamps Circuit.

However, if you prefer to avoid the crowds and secure lower rates on accommodation, spring and autumn also offer pleasant weather conditions and fewer tourists. Winters in Spa can be very cold with snowfall and limited activities, so, unless you are looking for a winter wonderland experience, it is not the most ideal time for a family holiday in this area.
