Rhodes for kids
When planning for a family holiday parents often give priority account to their children needs and the activities to keep them safe, entertained and busy. Most hotels in Rhodes have special kids playgrounds and offer children animation while the majority of the beaches, particularly on the east coast, are ideal for children. But outside the hotels there are a lot of options to get your kids entertained.
If you’re staying near the town center here is a list of places to visit:
The Rhodes Marine Aquarium and Museum
Located exactly on the northern tip of the island this Aquarium was originally built in the ’30s. It features an aquatic zoo in the basement of Rhodes’ Hydro Biological Station that will inform and entertain both kids and adults. Lots of marine animals you can see here, including octopuses, reefs, turtles, sea flowers, decapods, clams and different kinds of fishes, mostly belonging in the Mediterranean region.
