Rainy-day activities in Palma and Playa de Palma

1. Watch the sharks at Palma Aquarium

Start with the indoor tanks, where there’s plenty for toddlers and older siblings to look for. The aquarium also lists an indoor children’s play area. Part of the route goes through outdoor gardens, so bring waterproofs and ask at the entrance about the route in wet weather. Check Palma Aquarium’s opening times and plan your visit.

Book Palma Aquarium entry through GetYourGuide (optional 3D cinema).

2. Book a family workshop at CaixaForum Palma

CaixaForum is in the former Gran Hotel in central Palma. Its family programme includes hands-on activities, with art and science among the topics. Check the suggested age, language and session time before booking. If the workshop is full, see what’s on in the exhibition galleries. See upcoming family activities at CaixaForum Palma.

3. Explore the Fantasy Museum in Plaça Major

Think mirror rooms, colourful lights and a ball pit. It’s a fully indoor option in Palma’s old town, and the venue suggests allowing around 45 minutes to an hour. If someone in the family is sensitive to lights or has access needs, look at the room descriptions before booking. See the Fantasy Museum’s rooms and tickets.

For a quieter indoor alternative, Elements is a light and music show inside the church on Carrer de Sant Gaietà. Check the venue’s show times or book Elements through GetYourGuide.

4. Let them bounce at Super Rabbit

Head to Son Castelló if the children need to move. Super Rabbit has trampolines, climbing, mini football and a separate play area for younger children. Some activities have minimum ages or heights, so check which areas each child can use when you book. Check Super Rabbit’s sessions and age or height requirements. Another option is Palma Jump, which has dedicated parent-and-child sessions for under-fives.

For general trampoline park admission, see Palma Jump tickets on GetYourGuide. Use the park’s own page above for dedicated under-five sessions.

5. Go to the cinema in Palma

A film is a simple option if everyone’s tired or you need an afternoon plan with very little organising. If you want a film in English, check the language on the individual screening. VOSE means original version with Spanish subtitles, so check that the original language is English and that it suits any children who can’t yet read subtitles. Check the Ocimax cinema listings. You can also compare what’s on at CineCiutat at S’Escorxador and Sala Augusta.

6. Take younger children to Happy Land

This indoor soft-play venue on Carrer de Gabriel Alzamora is an option when little ones need to run about or climb. Check Happy Land’s play sessions and reserve a visit.

7. Look for your favourite car at Motorworld Mallorca

The indoor halls give car-mad children and teenagers somewhere to browse, and general admission is free. Pick a favourite before you leave. Some experiences and events are separately priced. Check Motorworld Mallorca’s opening hours and events.

8. Go bowling, climbing or electric karting

Try Mallorca Bowling on Camí dels Reis for a game everyone can play, or ask Indoorwall Mallorca about a session for young climbers. At eKarts in Marratxí, the electric kart circuit is indoors. Check the junior kart height and age rules before booking.

9. Try a virtual reality game with older children

At Another World at Ocimax or Zero Latency Mallorca, look for a game everyone in your group can play. Check the minimum age for that experience, group size and supervision requirements before paying.

10. Look for a family art session

Check the programmes at Es Baluard and Fundació Miró Mallorca for family activities. Look at the suggested ages and book ahead if there’s a workshop you particularly want to do.

11. Stop for hot chocolate and an ensaïmada

If everyone’s ready to sit down, Ca’n Joan de s’Aigo is a good Palma stop for hot chocolate and an ensaïmada. If it’s earlier in the day and you’d rather browse, check the opening hours of the covered Mercat de l’Olivar.

12. See how shoes were made at Inca’s Footwear Museum

Inca’s Museu del Calçat i de la Indústria is free to visit. Make it a game for primary-school children: see who can spot the strangest shoe, then look at the machines and work out what each one might have done. Check opening times at Inca’s Footwear Museum.

13. Visit the Museu de Pollença

This free museum in the old Santo Domingo convent is a good short stop if you’re already in Pollença. Give the children a picture to choose and ask what they’d call it. Check the council’s opening hours before setting off, especially if you’re planning a weekend visit. Check the Museu de Pollença’s visitor information.

14. See how glass is made at Gordiola in Algaida

Visit the glass museum and factory to see what can be made from blown glass. If watching the glassblowers is the main reason you’re going, check when they’ll be working before you set off. Check Gordiola’s factory and visitor information.

15. Try the interactive exhibits at the Rafa Nadal Museum

In Manacor, the museum combines Nadal’s trophies with memorabilia from other athletes and interactive sports exhibits. It’s a good choice for sporty school-age children and teenagers. Check ticket availability and ask about access to any specific activity your children are keen to try. Plan a visit to the Rafa Nadal Museum.

16. Go underground at the Caves of Drach

The Porto Cristo visit lasts around an hour and includes a live concert on the underground lake. Ordinary rain doesn’t affect the tour, but the route has steps and can be slippery. Prams and wheelchairs can’t go into the caves. Book a timed slot if you’re travelling across the island, and check the venue’s access information before you pay. Check Caves of Drach tour times and tickets · Read the cave access information. Coves dels Hams is another option near Porto Cristo. If you’re based near Palma, look at Coves de Génova. Check the steps and access requirements for the cave you choose.

For the nearby alternative, see Coves dels Hams entry tickets on GetYourGuide.

18. See the Pirates Adventure family show in Magaluf
