Living in Morocco with kids has taught me that Casablanca isn't just about bustling markets and business districts - it's actually packed with amazing family-friendly attractions that both parents and children will love! Let me share some of my favorite spots that perfectly blend fun with a taste of Moroccan culture.
Art Nature: Adventure in Bouskoura Forest
Tucked away in the Bouskoura Forest, Art Nature park is a hidden gem that gets your family away from Casa's urban buzz. What I love about this place is how it combines outdoor adventure with nature. Your little ones can challenge themselves on thrilling treetop courses while you enjoy the forest's peaceful atmosphere.
What to expect:
- Exciting treetop adventure courses
- Laser tag adventures
- Paintball for the older kids
- Mini football field for sports enthusiasts
Sindibad Park: Where Magic Meets the Ocean
Sitting along Casablanca's beautiful corniche, Sindibad Park is truly special. Named after the famous Sinbad the Sailor, this park perfectly captures Morocco's blend of tradition and modern fun. It's become one of my go-to recommendations for families visiting Casa.
Highlights include:
- Sea horse-themed water attractions
- Aquatic bubble adventures
