#3 Captain Jako
If you are visiting Cap d’Agde with kids who are still young then water park Captain Jako is a good alternative to Aqualand. This is a much smaller water park with some smaller slides for young kids. As a parent, you can lie on a bed here while the kids have fun in the pools and with the play equipment.
The pools are also a lot shallower than at Aqualand. This water park is also near the beach, so you can combine a visit to the beach and the water park.
A third water park you could visit in Cap d’Agde with kids is Pirates world. This is a water park for young kids that is all pirate themed. This water park looks nice and is not super big. This makes it reasonably manageable with young kids. However, the reviews for this water park are very mixed.
#4 Fabrikus World
You can also go to an amusement park in Cap d’Agde with kids. Fabrikus World is an amusement park located a little outside the center of Cap d’Agde (8 minutes away by car from the center of Cap d’Agde) that has about 25 different attractions for both young and older kids. Most of the attractions are for young kids.
Many of the attractions are also rides that you find at the fairgrounds, but the park also has, for example, a fast roller coaster. You also have 2 different shows that you can watch in the park. In the amusement park you have several restaurants, which makes it great to spend an entire day in the amusement park with kids.
You have special family tickets at the amusement park, where you get a certain discount off the regular entrance price. Be sure to check in advance exactly when the park is open, because sometimes it is open during the day and sometimes only in the evening. Then different rates also apply to the amusement park. For more information about the different attractions, opening hours and entrance tickets, check out Fabrikus World’s website .
#5 Luna Park Cap d’Agde
Another fun children’s activity you can do in Cap d’Agde is Luna Park Cap d’Agde. This is really a carnival that is there all year with different attractions. You don’t pay an entrance fee to visit the park, but you do pay entrance fees for the different attractions. And the amounts you pay per attraction are quite high.
This park is only open in the evening hours and sometimes the park opens at 5:30 and sometimes at 8:30. There are also days when the park is not open, so always check before you go to this park. You also have several food stalls at this fairground where you can get some food, but the quality of the food is not very high.
#6 Dinoworld Cap d’Agde
You can go to several parks in Cap d’Agde with kids that are all about dinosaurs. Dino World consists of a water park/game park, theme park and a section where you can play a game of miniature golf. You can buy different tickets. You can buy a separate ticket for each park or buy a combination ticket for 2 or 3 parks together.
These parks are really geared toward young kids. At the water park there are some water elements and kids can do all kinds of games. Don’t expect a big water park here with all kinds of slides. At the theme park you mainly get a lot of information about the different dinosaurs and this park is more informative. At the mini-golf section, it does speak for itself what you can do here.
You have a lot of playground equipment for young children in the parks and you can almost think of it as a big playground for the kids.
