Fun For Children

Sadly the departure (2019) of Goody Goody  childrens play park means there is a lot less than in previous years. There is a grassed area for ball games and a few young childrens frames next to Caremea beach (Son Xoriguer). At various locations you can hire fun bikes ( uptp 4 seats ) to ride around the resort with kids.

At Cap D'Atrutx there is the Big Apple 'chill out zone' ( formely Titanic Park ) Bar Pizzeria with Splash pool with small slides/splash pool and few pay amusements.

At the Marina there is Star Games I and II which are pay indoor amusements and some small karts tracks and rides - see photo

Organised trips can make a great family day out with as a Snorkel Safari or stop off as part of a Boat excusrions. There are also marine reserves around Menorca where the marine life is even more abundent.

Ciutadella

A taste of former elegant times with fine old spanish palaces, moorish influences, a wonderful old centre and a charming little harbour. Ciutadella was the original capital of the island lying at the western edge of the island looking out to its bigger neighbour Mallorca. A superb contrast to the beach and holiday resort. Great atmosphere and shopping and a place to wander the pedestrianised old city and its many narrow streets with hidden shops and Cafe treats. Also competes with Mahon for the title of the best music bars and venues on the island. The scene for the spectacular Sant Joan festival in June, when stunning native black horses parade through the streets and the brave try to "touch the horses' heart" as it rears in front of them.
