Things to do in Side with kids are an essential part of the holiday for those traveling with children and looking for ways to make their trip more exciting. Turkey, with its golden beaches and the gentle Mediterranean Sea, is ideal not only for solo travelers but also for active family vacations.
Taking excursions in Side with children is a great way to add variety to your family holiday with fun activities. These excursions are carefully chosen to suit the needs and interests of young visitors to Turkey.
For families travelling with children, excursions in Side offer a perfect opportunity to enrich the holiday with new experiences. Turkey, with its golden beaches and calm Mediterranean Sea, attracts not only solo travellers but also families seeking active and enjoyable holidays.
Side offers something for everyone — from relaxing on the beach to exciting trips to the mountains or visits to popular local attractions. Since not all hotels offer children’s entertainment, and many children quickly tire of the same games, tailored excursions in Side provide a refreshing alternative.
One of the most memorable outings for young visitors is a trip to the dolphinarium, where friendly dolphins perform an amazing show. Visitors can watch the dolphins and even swim with them in the dolphin park.
Families with children make up about 70% of tourists, so excursions for kids are very popular. Some favourites include:
The pirate ship tour is a firm favourite. Children enjoy fun activities like treasure hunts, dressing up as pirates, meeting the famous Captain Jack Sparrow, and joining a foam party. Just remember to bring sun protection as you’ll spend a lot of time out on the water.
Rafting is surprisingly popular with families. The trip runs through Koprulu National Park on the Kopruchay River. The route is safe for children as young as 4 years old, and experienced instructors are always close by to assist.
Water parks are also very popular. Among them, The Land of Legends stands out — often called the "Turkish Disneyland." It offers something for everyone: shopping, cafés, rides, water slides, dolphin and seal shows, and even shark diving experiences.
A holiday in Side with children, filled with these enjoyable excursions, will create wonderful memories that will last for years.
