Seville’s leisure scene caters to a wide range of tastes and interests. And alongside dining options, musical events, and cultural activities, there are plenty of great (and free) things for kids to do.
This way, young children can explore the opportunities the city offers—whether for learning, staying active, or developing their creativity and ingenuity. Options range from museums with activities designed just for them to parks, cultural centers, day trips, and nature trails.
One of the monthly events held in the city is the Pop Market at Torre Sevilla, which, in addition to its stalls, typically organizes free workshops for children as well as face painting. It takes place in the shopping center’s plaza and sometimes includes live music performances.
The Best Parks in Seville
María Luisa Park (also known as Alamillo Park), Plaza de España, Princes’ Park, Magallanes Park, and Miraflores Park.
Seville is full of outdoor venues where you can spend an afternoon playing with kids. Have a picnic, take a stroll through the souk, or join in on the activities these spaces occasionally offer.
CaixaForum Sevilla
Right in the heart of Torre Sevilla, CaixaForum has established itself as one of families’ favorite cultural and interactive destinations.
The center offers free admission to children under 16 for its temporary exhibitions, many of which are designed to spark young children’s scientific and artistic curiosity.
They frequently organize hands-on workshops and children’s film series where learning through play becomes the perfect excuse to escape the heat or a rainy day.
Those unfamiliar with this popular event shouldn’t be fooled by its name. Electrolunch is dedicated to electronic music throughout the day, but it also hosts a family-friendly event in the vicinity of Magallanes Park.
A giant play area and bouncy castle for the little ones, all kinds of workshops for boys and girls, and the chance to enjoy all these activities for free. Some of them, however, have a nominal fee, and in any case, Electrolunch remains a must-visit event for friends, couples, and the whole family.
In a similar vein, “In the Park” sets up shop in one of the city’s green spaces to offer music, workshops, food, and crafts scattered throughout its picturesque market.
The event takes place throughout the spring and during those dates between fall and winter that allow visitors to make the most of this outdoor event. Children are always welcome in the audience, and the event features children’s entertainment, shows, and activities just for them.
Including the little ones on hiking trails is a foolproof option that combines nature, physical activity, and an escape from the city—at least for a few hours. Sierra Morena boasts dozens of accessible trails that children can enjoy as part of one of those free weekend activities.
By the way, here’s a roundup of memorable restaurants in the mountains near Seville to make your culinary exploration easier as well.
Itálica stands in all its splendor near Santiponce, just 10 kilometers from Seville, as one of those destinations that, every now and then, is well worth a visit.
Adults and children interested in the history and Roman heritage of the province will undoubtedly be thrilled to explore this site filled with sculptures, mosaics, and its iconic amphitheater.
The good news is that admission is free for European citizens, and in the summer, the center usually offers free guided tours.
Navigation Pavilion
Of all the exhibition and interactive spaces in Seville, the Navigation Pavilion is perhaps the one most focused on young visitors.
This activity combines history and technology in an interactive way. Children can “steer” ships using simulators and learn about Columbus’s voyages and transoceanic expeditions in a highly visual way.
In this case, children over 5 do pay admission (a nominal fee for children under 14 and €6 for adults). Visiting this space—which was dedicated to exhibitions during the 1992 Expo—is an ideal outing for children and also includes activities for the whole family every month.
CAAC
Located in the historic Monastery of La Cartuja, the CAAC proves that avant-garde art and family fun go hand in hand. Admission to the grounds and gardens is completely free, offering the perfect setting for little ones to run around outdoors surrounded by sculptures, historic chimneys, and tree-lined paths.
In addition, throughout the year they organize free educational programs such as vaCAACiones, featuring creative workshops where children explore the exhibits through crafts, games, and artistic experiments.
Admission, in any case, has a nominal fee of €3.01 (€1.80 for a visit to the monument or temporary exhibitions).
