Featured reviews
Fuengirola 4.5 Fuengirola Adventure Golf is a well-built 18-hole adventure golf course in the river park opposite Miramar shopping centre — thoughtfully designed holes with running water features, plenty of shade, a cheap and cheerful cafe and a castle you play right through on the 18th.
Marbella 4.6 Bobby Jump is a very large trampoline and play park on the eastern edge of Marbella, with six distinct zones — arcade, cafe, toddler soft play, two birthday party areas, a superb main jump park and a summer Aqua Jump — almost all of it indoors or shaded, making it a great pick for hot afternoons.
Fuengirola 4.4 The Fun House is a recently renovated family soft-play club and restaurant in central Fuengirola (formerly Kiddo's) — upgraded play areas, a toddler room with a bouncy castle and mini climbing wall, and much-improved food and adult seating, all at the same keen €6-for-two-hours price.
Gran Parque de Mijas 4.1 Gran Parque Mijas is a huge, free new public park in Las Lagunas de Mijas — a landmark lake, boulevards and a big range of children's play areas with real standout potential, though shade is very limited and the on-site café is not yet open.
