Seville offers countless entertainment options for youngsters.

Beyond doubt, the most remarkable entertainment possibility the city offers is Isla Mágica. Located on the island of La Cartuja, this theme park will take you back to the times of the Discovery of America, through numerous rides, live performances, and multimedia shows at the central lake.

The calendar of cultural events takes children into account. During the month of May, the Teatro Municipal Alameda hosts the Puppet and Marionette Festival, as well as various children's theatre programmes.

In addition, many cinemas around the city have matinées, and include in their programmes the latest releases suitable for children.

A refreshing choice during the summer is Aquópolis Seville Guadalpark. It is a water park with incredible chutes, many pools, and other complementary activities, such as a go-cart rink and an animal exhibition. Leaving the capital, in the town of Guillena, we find Mundo-Park, a complex that embraces a botanic garden, a zoo, and an amusement park.

Spaces devoted to nature and local fauna are of great importance in the province of Seville. The main ones are the Zoológico de Carmona, an educational park that includes many bird and mammal species; Trance de Aragón Animal Reserve, in Utrera, with a rich sample of indigenous and foreign species;Cañada de los Pájaros Nature Reserve, in La Puebla del Río; and El Castillo de las Guardas Nature Reserve, with exotic animals living in partial freedom.
