Cheap Majorca - Majorca Childrens Holidays

Majorca Child Holidays

Majorca is a well-established holiday destination, and so there's a great number of child-friendly entertainments available.

The Peach Pit c/Tomalo, Alcudia. Open 7 days until 3am. Though there are lots of places that cater for kids, The Peach Pit does that little bit extra. They put on a kids show at 9 every night featuring Bob the Builder, Tinky Winky or Jake from The Tweenies. There is then a dancing competition for the young ones where they can win prizes for their ability or lack of it!

Super Golf Hidro Park Avenida Tucan, Alcudia. Open May to September. As Rolf Harris so rightly said, kids love the water, and there's plenty of it here plus enough slides and pools to keep the hardest to please young holiday maker occupied. If they get tired of that then there are three 18 hole mini-golf courses, costumed characters and enough food and drink places to feed an army.
