Are you planning an unforgettable getaway with your kids?
Children, like adults, need to engage in activities daily to entertain themselves, but most importantly, to stimulate their imagination and keep their brains active with various stimuli.
Since children cannot seek out these stimuli by themselves, we present a series of activities for kids in Santiago de Compostela and the surrounding area.
Table of contents
Centro Comercial Área Central
Nova Jump Trampoline Park
Located in Centro Comercial Área Central, Nova Jump is a “Trampoline Park” where both the youngest and the not-so-young can enjoy trampolines, foam pits, jumpers, and basketball hoops.
This place not only lets you have fun while exercising but also periodically organizes a “Noite de Foliada,” where those over 15 can enjoy live music and a light show.
Please note that to enjoy the park, you need to have special reinforced socks, which are not included in the admission price (but once bought, they are reusable).
Additionally, like at the movies, there is a special offer on Wednesdays where admission is 5€.
