Family hotels in Valencia

From immersion in both nature and culture to exploring incredible, family-friendly attractions, Valencia has it all. Here are some top recommendations for making the most of your time in this enchanting city.

Immerse yourselves in the wild and wonderful world of Bioparc Valencia, where you can marvel at the ingenious zoo-immersion concept, which creates natural habitats for animals to co-exist. With a strong commitment to environmental education and conservation, Bioparc Valencia makes for both an exciting and informative family day out. Get ready to unleash the imagination at Gulliver Park, a fantastic playground featuring a 70-metre-long Gulliver from the story of Gulliver's Travels. Free to enter, the park is a must-see attraction for families looking for a fun-filled playtime amidst delightful settings. Unearth the magic of aquatic life at L'Oceanogràfic, Europe's largest oceanarium featuring ten distinct areas that showcase 45,000 animals from 500 different species. In this mesmerising undersea world, your family will encounter majestic sea creatures as you wander through various marine ecosystems. Of course, don't miss out on exploring Valencia's picturesque coastline with its beautiful beaches, sparkling blue waters, and sun-soaked promenades. Whether you choose to build sandcastles, splash in the sea, or kick back and relax, a trip to the seaside is always a recipe for family fun. Last but not least, amble through the enchanting Turia Gardens – a lush, green oasis that provides a serene space for families to unwind, have picnics or simply enjoy the natural beauty of Valencia.

Valencia is a fantastic choice for a family holiday throughout the year, thanks to its sunny Mediterranean climate, boasting over 300 days of sunshine. However, visiting during the shoulder season from March to May and September to October will offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds, making it ideal for sightseeing with the little ones. While accommodation prices may rise during the high season (June to August), it's during this period that the city truly comes to life, with an abundance of festivals, such as the Fallas festival in mid-March. For those travelling on a budget, the low season (November to February) presents more affordable options, though the weather might be slightly cooler. As always, to avoid possible fines, make sure to plan your family holiday in line with school breaks.
