Children activities during Christmas

Postby Aracauna » Mon Nov 23, 2009 2:38 pm

Hello everyone,

We will be holidaying for 2 weeks during xmas and I have a very energetic 3 year old son. I have looked at some of the children's activities posted on the site and though useful were mainly suggestions during summer (July/Aug) and some of those activities are closed during December. I checked though that Tivoli World in Benalmedina is open, so we can go there for one of the days. Any other open in December/holiday season i.e. ice skating in Arroyo de la Miel or elsewhere or any heated indoor pools/indoor aquaparks, play centres/fun parks etc..?
We are near Antequera/Iznajar (and can travel within a 1 hour reason) so any suggestions much appreciated! :D

Close to Antequera you also have:

The donkey sanctuary

The wolf park

They are both outdoor, but weather is normally pleasant during the day.

Indoor play centre in Loja, Congo, will be open, it's just on the outskirts near Mercadona and Lidl.
Finally really and properly living in Andalucia.

Of course, the Sierra Nevada ski resort has a skating rink, and obviously lots of other activities! There is bound to be an indoor pool there too. I think Antequera has an indoor pool (Aquaslava or something?), on the road out towards the Autovia.

Both Antequera and Archidona have public covered and heated pools.
Here's the information for Archidona - looks like 'free' swimming is available for 3 hours in the morning and 5 in the evening.

Couldn't find similar information for Antequera municipal pool.
I think Aquaslava at Hotel Finca Eslava is run as a club but here's the link anyway.

'free' as in not structured, rather than as in not costing (it's only 2E per hour tho ) :D
