August is halfway over. The kids still have enough energy for a thousand more adventures. And parents, you need that final boost before the routine sets in.
If you’re looking for things to do with kids in the Valencian Community for these last few days of summer, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve selected the best family-friendly activities in four destinations: Valencia, Peñíscola, Gandia, and Cullera. All recommended by Tour&Kids, the Valencian Community’s family tourism product club.
Valencia is so much more than just beaches and paella. The city’s historic center is home to centuries of history, culture, and adventure that most families never get to discover.
Indiana Tours · The Last Crusade
The most epic and fun tour of Valencia’s historic center. Led by Jaco Müller, the Valencian Indiana Jones, families and groups search for the Holy Grail through the streets of Ciutat Vella. Puzzles to solve, mysteries to unravel, and a holy cup to find. Thousands of adventurers have experienced it since 2021.
Museum of Illusions Valencia
Where nothing is what it seems. Optical illusions, upside-down rooms where you walk on the ceiling, and visual effects that defy gravity. A 100% Instagram-worthy experience that delights all ages.
Happy Catamaran
Set sail from the Marina de Valencia—no license required. A refreshing and unique way to enjoy the Mediterranean with the whole family.
Peñíscola is one of the prettiest towns in the Valencian Community. It features a medieval castle, fine-sand beaches, and a history you can practically touch.
Indiana Tours Peñíscola · The Last Crusade
Every summer and during Holy Week, Indiana Jones comes to Peñíscola to uncover the secrets of Pope Luna’s castle and the town’s medieval alleyways. A dramatized scavenger hunt that no student or family will ever forget.
Peñíscola Maze
The largest living maze in Spain. More than 7,000 m² of green pathways featuring dinosaurs, a zip line, and a playground.
Magic Museum by Yunke
The most fascinating magic museum on the Costa de Azahar. Historical artifacts, illusions, and live shows that captivate visitors of all ages.
Gandia combines beach, history, and nature in perfect proportions for families. The Ducal City of the Borgias has much more to offer than just its kilometers of sandy beaches.
Indiana Tours Gandia · Borgia Territory
Rodrigo de Borja became Pope Alexander VI. His son, Cesare, was the most feared man in Europe. His grandson, Francesco, renounced all power and was canonized. Three generations. One city. Indiana Tours brings the history of the Borgias to life through a dramatized tour of Gandia’s historic center, available year-round for groups and schools.
Palau Ducal dels Borgia
Guided tours, dramatized tours, and the family scavenger hunt “Where Is the Key to the Palau?” Also this summer: night tours on Tuesdays and Fridays, and outdoor movies on Wednesdays in the Palau’s courtyard.
Monastery of Sant Jeroni de Cotalba
A dramatized tour that will surprise both adults and children. Located very close to Gandia, it is one of the best-preserved monasteries in the Valencian Community.
Cullera is the most surprising destination. A medieval castle, pirates, underground shelters, and a natural setting where the Júcar River meets the Mediterranean.
Indiana Tours Cullera · In the Footsteps of Pirate Dragut
Indiana Tours’ fourth destination is launching this school year. In 1550, the privateer Dragut sacked Cullera. In 1808, the Holy Grail passed through this city while fleeing from Napoleon. Two true stories. One city. Available for groups and schools starting in the 2026–2027 school year.
Cullera Castle and Pirate Dragut’s Cave-Museum
First-hand accounts of privateers. The tourist train climbs up to the 9th-century Caliphate castle and the cave of the Mediterranean’s most feared privateer.
6 Signposted Ecotourism Trails
On foot and by bike along beaches, through the mountains, and along the Júcar River. Six routes suitable for the whole family in a unique natural setting.
