If you're looking for the best things to do in San Sebastian with kids, you've come to the right place!
We propose a list of five activities that will ensure your family has a blast in Donostia. From beach days to visits to interactive museums, San Sebastián (or Donosti, as locals call it) has something for everyone. Get ready for a movie-like experience!
When it comes to San Sebastián with kids, a beach day at La Concha is almost mandatory. This iconic beach is perfect for families thanks to its calm waters and fine sand. It's as if director Steven Spielberg created the perfect setting for a family adventure movie. Unleash your kids' inner architects with a family sandcastle contest. Don’t forget your shovel and bucket!
La Concha Bay is also the perfect setting for a kayak ride, and if you're traveling with kids over 6 years old, you can even try stand-up paddleboarding with ALOKAYAK. Perfect for feeling like a true explorer.
After a day full of activities, enjoy a stroll along the Paseo de La Concha. Imagine Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck walking hand in hand through this dreamlike setting.
Can you imagine your little ones having fun as if they were in a Wes Anderson movie? The Monte Igueldo Amusement Park offers a vintage experience that the whole family will love.
Don’t forget to ride the funicular. With over 100 years of history, the funicular is the most popular way to get up Monte Igueldo. Experience a journey through time and ride just as casino and ballroom guests did decades ago. From the top, you’ll have a panoramic view of San Sebastián that could have been taken from any Hollywood movie. Don’t forget your camera!
For the little Einsteins in the family, a visit to Eureka! Zientzia Museoa is a must. This interactive museum is a real paradise for science and technology lovers.
The museum offers workshops and activities for kids of all ages. Can you imagine your kids as little scientists discovering the secrets of the universe? Einstein would be proud!
Peine del Viento, San Sebastián
Peine del Viento, a masterpiece by the famous sculptor Eduardo Chillida, is one of San Sebastián's most iconic spots. This magical corner uniquely combines art and nature. What would Indiana Jones do here? Probably watch the waves crashing against the sculptures while searching for some hidden treasure.
El Peine del Viento consists of wind tunnels. So, when the sea is rough and the waves crash against the sculptures and the coast, the ground holes emit powerful bursts of air and water, creating a stunning spectacle. The kids will be fascinated.
Additionally, this is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the landscape. Even James Bond would need a moment of peace and tranquility here. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture this breathtaking scenery!
The San Sebastián Aquarium is one of the oldest in Europe and a must-visit for any family. Here, your kids can discover marine life in an interactive and educational way.
Walk underwater and watch sharks, rays, and other fish swimming around you. It's like being in a scene from "Finding Nemo."
Additionally, the Aquarium has an interactive area where kids can touch starfish, sea urchins, and other marine animals.
The Aquarium offers workshops and educational activities that teach kids about the importance of taking care of our oceans. Can you imagine your kids as little marine biologists on a mission to save the planet?
After a day full of adventures and fun, return to the comfort of Zinema7 Hotel. Our cinema-themed hotel offers a unique experience for the whole family. Relax in our themed rooms and enjoy our luxury amenities. And who knows? You might even run into a famous actor taking a break at our bar.
