Family trip to Ourense with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

The Spanish city of Ourense is sure to interest not only adults but also for small travelers. Thus, the city is famous for its thermal springs that will be remembered by kids for a very long time. Besides that, it is worth taking your child on some tour where they can see Ourense's numerous attractions. Among them are Ponte Romana, Claustro de San Francisco, and the Teatro Principal de Ourense. The city also has interesting museums, but most kids would still prefer entertainment centers and restaurants serving delicious desserts.

To make the child's acquaintance with the city memorable, be sure to start it with a visit to FunCastle Entertainment Center. This is a wonderful place where children from 2 to 6 years old can just lose track of time and spend the whole day with their parents. The entertainment available includes slides and structures. And while the kids are having fun, adults can take a walk around the shopping center (the thing is that FunCastle is housed in Ponte Vella Centro Comercial e Ocio) and buy anything they like - it must be said that adults will like it here too.

Another interesting entertainment center for children is called Dragonenos. Children's laughter rings and fun always reigns here - this is where children can meet with their peers and possibly make new friends. Together, they can climb constructions, "swim" in balls, have a tasty meal, or ride a roller coaster. Nearby you can find Parque Barbaña - a great place to go for a walk. The park often hosts fairs and interesting children's events. Here you can also hide from the heat in the shadow of centuries-old trees. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

You can enjoy the scenery following Castro Santome hiking trail. The end point of the route is Mirador das Marmitas de Xigante - this is where you can enjoy unrivaled views of the valley in which Ourense is located. Another great place for walking is Botanico de Montealegre. Here you can relax and admire the unsurpassed city views from a hill on which the garden stands.

Regardless of whether the trip to Ourense takes place with or without children, be sure to visit Piscina Termal As Burgas - the oldest thermal spring in town (date back to ancient Rome). The ruins can be seen right next to the pools, but bathing in the thermal water would still be more fun for kids. Parents, in their turn, will appreciate the fact that the baths are free of charge. You'll find a huge pool filled with pleasant water that is believed to have healing properties, which attracts many.

Together with small tourists, it'd also be nice to visit Termas de Outariz together. The thermal offers several small and shallow pools with hot water, a jacuzzi, a bar serving great food. The baths are beautifully decorated in Japanese style, which attracts many visitors, just like cleanliness the complex is famous for. All this brings a relaxing atmosphere to your stay in the complex. Another place all kids will really like is Polo Santa Maria where small guests can enjoy watching a polo match.

Among other entertainment centers, La Nave del Paintball stands out. As the name suggests, this one invites families to play paintball, thus improving the trust relationships between all members. In Diverbolos, everyone can enjoy bowling. Nearby you will find Plaza Eduardo Barreiros - a great place to walk. It is also worth noting a nice children's playground located in this square.

Kids will say “thank you” if their parents take them to places like Café Latino where they can taste the best ice cream in Ourense, or Café BICO de Xeado where they make delicious organic milk ice cream, as well as Confitería Miguel offering to taste the best pastries in town. Among other restaurants is Rebusca 46 where they serve the best pizza in Ourense - make sure of this and never regret. It's also a good idea to check out Pacífico Restaurant serving wonderful pies and pastries.
