Kids & Children
Kids will find Rhodes fascinating, as there are many things to enjoy on the island. They’ll love the beach with all the activities that entertain adults and children alike: swimming, snorkelling, banana rides, and beach games, but they’ll also love exploring the countryside and the main tourist attractions. Consider also donkey rides among the favourite pastimes available when you visit Rhodes with kids.
The island has more to do with the little ones: there’s a toy museum, several water parks, an aquarium, and all kinds of playgrounds. Kids can also try to make their way out of an escape room, ride a go-kart, or learn about nature and wildlife in a museum.
For children who want to get close to animals, Farma of Rhodes Petting Zoo offers unique interactive experiences with sheep, lamas, ostriches, donkeys, and ponies. They also have camels, kangaroos, racoons, and porcupines – all in an area not far from the Valley of Butterflies, which is another attraction suitable to visit with kids.
