Looking for somewhere to entertain the kids indoors in Costa Blanca? We take a look at some of our favourite soft play centres
Introduction
When people think of Spain’s Mediterranean coast, they tend to think of endless sunshine and the chance to live outdoors as much as possible. Searching out the best indoor or soft play centres in Costa Blanca is not always top of the list of things to do.
It can’t be sunny all the time though. Sometimes winter can bring rain and cold temperatures, leaving you stuck for something to do with the kids. Also, sometimes at the peak of summer, the sun can be overpowering, leaving you desperate to retreat indoors to escape the constant heat outside.
For both these reasons, sometimes an indoor, soft play, or trampoline centre for kids on the Costa Blanca is exactly what you are looking for. To help with your search, we have put together a list of some of our favourites in the area. These play centres also make great venues for kids birthday parties in Costa Blanca.
The indoor play centres on this list are those that are specifically built for this purpose. While they may have some kind of cafe or food offering, they are primarily play centres, all of which charge admission for entry. If you are instead looking for somewhere which is more of a proper restaurant with something to entertain the kids on the side, take a look at our list of the best family restaurants in Costa Blanca with indoor play areas, or the best family restaurants in Costa Blanca with outdoor play areas.
If you would actually rather be outside and are looking for a way to entertain the children for the day, also see our best parks and playgrounds for kids in Costa Blanca, our best theme parks and funfairs for kids in Costa Blanca, or our best water parks for kids in Costa Blanca.
So, here are some of our best indoor play centres (soft play) for kids in Costa Blanca, arranged by location from north to south.
