Deauville is not the best place for a family vacation with children. The town itself has no amusement parks, zoos, or water parks. On the beach, little ones can enjoy trampolines (5 EUR). Other activities for children in Deauville are aristocratic, just like the resort itself. Your child can learn to swim in the pool, ride a horse at the Poney Club, or play golf at the school of the Du Golf Barrière hotel.
The nearest amusement park to Deauville is Festyland in Caen. This theme park is dedicated to Norman conquerors. It features classic roller coasters, water rides, and racing attractions. A separate educational zone, Prehistyland, tells the story of the prehistoric period. The cost of such a family outing in Deauville is 21–24.5 EUR, which covers park admission. Add to that the travel expenses to and from Caen. Approximate bus ticket prices are 2–5 EUR.
