Bioparc Fuengirola 4.7 Bioparc Fuengirola is one of the strongest family days out on the Costa del Sol, combining immersive habitats, compact layout and close animal encounters in the heart of Fuengirola.
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.
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.
Jungle Family 4.3 Jungle Family is a well-run family play park near Plaza Mayor in Malaga, with excellent facilities, strong staff supervision and very easy access from the A-7.
Castellar de la Frontera 2.4 Zoo de Castellar is a rescue zoo in Castellar de la Frontera, just inland from Sotogrande, that takes in animals confiscated by the authorities — but at €86 for a family of four it is priced as a family day out, and judged that way it disappoints, with installations in much need of some love, no real café and a feeding set-up that has turned the animals quite feral at the fences.
Elviria 4.7 Aventura Amazonia is a very big treetop adventure park in the pine forest at Elviria, just off the A-7 between Marbella and Fuengirola. It is well maintained, set up for a high volume of people and properly staffed, with courses for everyone from three-year-olds up to some very high and very risky ones for adults — you could easily spend half or three quarters of a day here and not get bored.
