Children's City of Cordoba

Children's City is a space run by Cordoba City Council designed for family fun, with facilities geared towards play and learning. It's currently the largest children's play area in Cordoba, laid out as a park where kids can spend time outdoors, with different zones and activities within the grounds.

It's next to Parque Cruz Conde, one of the city's green lungs, so the visit tends to work well if you want to combine the playground with a stroll around that area.

Inside the grounds you'll find a mix of children's play equipment and spaces designed for kids to take part in activities suited to their age.

For little ones (play and water area) There are games designed for this space, such as the El Río water play area, which tends to be one of the most popular when the weather's good.

For middle age groups (large-scale play structure) Among the most eye-catching structures is the Vulcano-Mezquita, one of the games children come back to most because of its size and design.

For older and more daring kids (skating and skateboarding) The park includes a skating and skateboarding rink staffed by specialist instructors, designed for those with more control who want that kind of activity within the park.

The grounds are also large and organised into many play units: 45,000 m² and thirty play units, some of which are made up of smaller elements, so a visit is usually enough to move between zones without doing the same thing over and over.

Children's City in Cordoba is designed as a large site where you can move from one game to another without sticking to a single area. The park covers 45,000 square metres and brings together thirty play units, which in turn are divided into smaller ones, with several elements designed specifically for this space.

Among these, some stand out on their own. For example, the El Río water play area, and also the large Vulcano-Mezquita, which tends to become one of the most sought-after spots for those visiting with children.

And if the plan includes activities for those after something different, the park has a skating and skateboarding rink staffed by specialist instructors, which helps explain how that space works and why it's one of the areas that draws the most daring visitors.

The usual opening hours for Children's City Cordoba are Tuesday to Sunday, from 11:00 to 18:00. It's closed on Mondays, except on public holidays. In that case, it opens on Monday and closes on Tuesday instead.

As for tickets, the general rates are: adults €2, adults with a youth card €1, children aged 5 to 12 €1 and over-64s €1. Tickets are bought at the entrance area.

Children's City in Cordoba is an accessible space, designed as an inclusive playground adapted for children with special needs.

Children's City in Cordoba regularly organises activities for children, aimed at kids of different ages, with offerings such as creative workshops and games within the grounds.

As the programme can change, it's best to check the official website of Children's City before you go, where they usually update the activity calendar and notices related to your visit.

Children's City has a practical advantage if you're travelling with little ones or want to plan your day without moving around too much: it's very close to Cordoba Zoo and the Botanical Garden. Thanks to its location, it's easy to put together a family day linking these visits, without needing to travel far within the city.
